‘Cannibal Holocaust’ Companion Piece D-E-A-D

Published

on

Some bummer news this evening as we’ve learned that Cannibals is officially a dead project. Cannibals was the planned Cannibal Holocaust companion piece that was to be directed by Holocaust helmer Ruggero Deodato from a screenplay by Christine Conradt. No word on why the project died, but hopefully one day it finds a way to be made. The new film was to take Deodato’s rugged documentary style of shooting into the dark city outside of the jungle.

Junction Row Trailer

Among Fantasia 2026‘s massive final wave of programming this morning is Raven Banner’s Lovecraftian creature feature Junction Row, starring Canadian horror icon Katharine Isabelle, and we’re exclusively unveiling the teaser trailer.

Junction Row will celebrate its World Premiere at Fantasia on July 28.

Watch a housing compound fall under siege from Lovecraftian creatures more dangerous than drug dealers in the trailer below.

Junction Row follows “Juno, a recovering addict who leaves a fringe housing compound for a better life, leaving her beloved Ruby behind. When she learns that Ruby has gone missing, Juno returns, only to find Junction Row has become a hotbed of criminal activity, but she encounters much more than menacing drug dealers on her mission to find Ruby.”

Isabelle stars as Juno, with Natalie Brown (FX’s The Strain) as Ruby.

The creature feature marks the feature debut by director Ashlea Wessel, who has directed festival-favorite shorts like 2018’s “Tick” and 2020’s “Weirdo”.

Wessel co-writes Junction Row with Clown in a Cornfield author Adam Cesare and Matt Serafini.

Katharine Isabelle is coming off a brief appearance in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, and more recently appeared in holiday horror It’s a Wonderful Knife. The horror icon is arguably best known for her turn as the eponymous werewolf in Ginger Snaps and for her roles in American Mary and Freddy vs Jason.

Fantasia teases that Junction Row tells “a story where the fear of the unknown isn’t confined to what lies above, but what waits beneath.”

Stay tuned for more from Fantasia as the festival gets underway later this month.
