‘Species’ – First Look at French Body Horror Movie Welcomes You to Bloody Burger
Marion Le Corroller’s feature debut Species (Sanguine) will be one of the Midnight Screenings at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and a first look teaser clip has arrived today.
Step inside Bloody Burger for a first look at the French body horror movie below.
In the film, “a young medical student working at an ER witnesses a new virus spreading among young patients, a mysterious mutation among the new generation that starts affecting her.”
Karin Viard, Mara Taquin, Kim Higelin, Sami Outalbali, Stefan Crepon and Sonia Faidi star in the body horror movie Species. You’ll also find an official poster below.
Marion Le Corroller wrote the script alongside Thomas Pujol. Academy Award winner Pierre-Olivier Persin (The Substance) will be handling the film’s makeup effects.
“I wanted to tell a story about bodies forced to change, to evolve and adapt to a very toxic and demanding workplace,” writer/director Marion Le Corroller explains to Deadline.
Le Corroller notes in her chat with Deadline that she’s inspired by fellow French filmmakers Coralie Fargeat (The Substance) and Julie Ducournau (Raw), as well as Ari Aster.

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.”
