Last House Director Plans For ‘Before the Fall’
While at the after party for The Last House on the Left remake, arriving in theaters March 13 from Rogue Pictures, we caught up with Producer Wes Craven who revealed to us one of his next projects that he’s developing with director Dennis Iliadis. Read on for the skinny.
During an interview with Craven he explains that The Last House on the Left director Dennis Iliadis is currently penning a screenplay for a film entitled Before the Fall.
“I would work with Dennis [Iliadis] again in a heartbeat,” Craven says proudly after the positive buzz surrounding the remake of his brutal 1972 movie The Last House on the Left. “We’re talking to him about doing some projects. Theres a film that he’s very intrigued by called Before the Fall, [it’s] a Spanish film.” He continues, “It’s definitely a genre film, the world’s ending and there are astroids coming through the atmosphere and people are starting to riot in the cities. It takes place in Spain.”
He explains that they still need to find a home for the project. “We’ll take it to Relativity and see if they want to do it, if not we are allowed to take it other places.”
Here’s the synopsis for the 2008 film directed by F. Javier Gutiérrez:
What would you do if the world was going to end in 72 hours? A giant meteorite is about to collide with Earth. The planet is gripped by despair and chaos. The inhabitants of the little town of Laguna listen to the news in terror.
Ale decides to spend his last days shut away, getting drunk and listening to music.
But his plans change when he is forced to protect his brother’s children when Lucio, an ambiguous, disturbing stranger, appears.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
