‘The Room Below’ – First Look at ‘Evil Dead Rise’ Star Alyssa Sutherland in Creature Feature
Alyssa Sutherland (Evil Dead Rise) will be battling monsters once again in upcoming horror movie The Room Below, and Deadline shares a first look image this afternoon.
Pictured alongside Sutherland in the image above is co-star Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
In The Room Below, “After losing her son to cancer, a grieving mother with a Creature in her home befriends another boy to replace her dead son, but her plans unravel when a retired detective starts searching for the missing child.”
Gilbert Bradman, Goran D Kleut, Lauren Grimson, Tristan McKinnon and Bobby Gilchrist also star in The Room Below, which is written and directed by Kurt Martin.
Uncork’d Entertainment has picked up the film for U.S. release later this year.
“The Room Below has resonated quickly with buyers looking for cast-led, high-concept horror,” said JD Beaufils, President of Blacktop International. “We saw strong momentum coming out of AFM, and that interest has carried directly into EFM. Uncork’d is a great partner for the North American release, and we’re excited by the film’s continued international response.”
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.”
