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.

Katharine Isabelle Battles Cosmic Horror in Exclusive ‘Junction Row’ Teaser Trailer [Fantasia 2026]
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.
