Lauren LaVera Will Star in Survival Horror Movie ‘Man or Bear’
While we wait for Sienna’s return to the big screen in Terrifier 4, Screen Daily reports that franchise heroine Lauren LaVera will also be starring in the upcoming movie Man or Bear.
Teresa Sutherland (Lovely, Dark and Deep) will direct Lauren LaVera in Man or Bear.
Lauren LaVera plays Alex in Man or Bear, a solo female backpacker who encounters an overly friendly male hiker traveling without gear who insists on tagging along.
As the mysterious man’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Alex is forced to battle her own intuition and a deadly wilderness predator in a desperate fight for survival.
The Coven (Terrifier 3) is launching sales at the Cannes Film Market this week.
Screen Daily notes in their exclusive report today, “Production is scheduled to begin this summer. The project taps into the viral thought experiment that originated on TikTok and asks women whether they would rather be alone in a forest with a man or a bear.”
Jaime Saginor wrote the upcoming feature film, which is based on her short film Black Creek Trail. You can watch a short preview of the original short horror movie below.
Saginor previews in a statement, “This project was created after I had a terrifying solo backpacking experience. At heart, this psychological thriller explores intuition, and why a woman might be so quick to abandon hers, even when her life is at stake.”
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.”
