‘Pitfall’ – First Look at ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Star Richard Harmon in Survival Slasher Movie
Described as an “evolved” slasher movie, the upcoming survival horror film Pitfall will star Final Destination Bloodlines favorite Richard Harmon, and Deadline has shared a first look.
Harmon won over the internet with his performance as Erik in Final Destination Bloodlines, and he previously starred in genre films like Lowlifes, Margaux, and Grave Encounters 2.
In Pitfall, a young man becomes separated from his friends in the woods and plunges into a ten-foot pit lined with spikes, impaling his leg and leaving him helpless. As reality sinks in and his situation grows dire, he realizes the fall wasn’t an accident.
The cast also includes Alexandra Essoe (The Pope’s Exorcist), UFC champion Randy Couture (The Expendables), Marshall Williams (The Ice Road), Jordan Claire Robbins (The Umbrella Academy), and Matt Hamilton (Murder for Sale).
James Kondelik (Dam Sharks) is directing Pitfall for Voltage Pictures.
“I’ve always loved the slasher genre, but with Pitfall, our goal was to evolve it, to make something brutal yet emotionally grounded,” said producer Wai Sun Cheng.
“You come for the kills, but you stay for the characters and the mystery behind the killer’s origin. It’s raw, cinematic, and deeply human.”
Victor Rose wrote the film, based on a story by Kondelik.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
