Michael Cerveris Is Psychiatrist to a Killer in ‘Basic Psych’ Trailer
As Michael Cerveris (“Mindhunter,” “Fringe”) is about to learn in Basic Psych, a psychiatrist is only as safe as his most dangerous patient.
Also starring David Conrad (“Ghost Whisperer”), the psychological thriller hits Digital on April 21 via Filmhub.
Cerveris stars as Dr. Stuart Prince, a psychiatrist who takes on a new patient, Dan Riviello (Conrad), an elementary school principal complaining of nightmares.
Knowing psychiatrists are forbidden from reporting patient’s past crimes, Dan reveals he is the killer in an unsolved double murder. Despite his misgivings, Stuart feels obligated to treat Dan.
As sessions darken, the doctor and his family are pulled into a chilling cat-and-mouse game that drags Dan into a shadow world of manipulation, obsession, and deadly uncertainty.
Cotter Smith (“Mindhunter”) and Siena Goines (“Criminal Minds”) round out the cast.
Melissa Martin directs from a script written by James Tucker. Janet D. Smith and Jeanne Baseman produce.
“What a journey Basic Psych has been,” said Martin and Tucker. “Michael Cerveris and David Conrad made perfect foes. We’re excited for fans of psychological thrillers to figure this one out.”
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.”
