Found footage horror goes meta in Anacoreta, which leans into the genre tropes for a self-aware commentary on filmmaking.
The Canadian indie will be released on Digital February 24 via Filmhub. The line between reality and fiction blurs in the trailer below.
The story follows a group of friends who travel for a weekend away to an isolated cabin in the woods to shoot an experimental horror movie. Slowly the film begins to unravel, and we see the true monster appear from the shadows.
Antonia Thomas (“Misfits”), Jeremy Schuetze (Jennifer’s Body), Matt Visser (“Fellow Travelers”), and Jesse Stanley (“Van Helsing”) star.
Schuetze makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Visser. Thomas and Stanley produce, with Visser serving as executive producer.
Anacoreta screened at the Heartland International Film Festival, where it was awarded Best Horror, and the Manchester Film Festival, where it won Best International Feature.
