‘Inground’ – Alexandra Daddario & John Cho Starring in Horror Movie Produced by Ridley Scott
A swimming pool provides a one-way ticket to a summertime nightmare in the upcoming horror movie Inground from producer Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions, and Deadline reports that Alexandra Daddario (“Mayfair Witches”) and John Cho (Afraid) will lead the cast.
Aaron Katz (Gemini) will direct from a screenplay by Dan Dworkin (American Horror Story).
In the film, “A recently divorced father attempts to reconnect with his young son by building a swimming pool in his backyard that they can both enjoy over the course of a long, hot summer.
“What begins as an exciting project turns into a terrifying nightmare.”
Deadline notes that production is expected to begin on Inground in March 2026, with the “hot genre package” being put up for grabs to buyers at the TIFF market this coming September.
Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, and Sam Roston will produce for Scott Free Productions.
John Cho in ‘The Exorcist’
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
