‘Isolation’ Director Joins ‘Creeping Zero’ Crew!
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since Billy O’Brien‘s incredible Irish horror Isolation was released. Thankfully, O’Brien is prepping a June shoot for Creeping Zone, a new action-scifi-horror masher that will star Attack the Block‘s John Boyega and Chronicle‘s Ashley Hinshaw. Rounding out the cast are Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes), Dominic Monaghan (“Lost”, Lord of the Rings) and Adam Deacon (“Dead Set”). Julie Baines of Dan Films produces.
Bloody Disgusting, along with Twitch have all been supplied with a different exclusive piece of concept art from the hotly anticipated feature. Our piece, by Chris Rosewarne, whose other credits include Skyfall, A Good Day To Diehard, Dark Shadows and Silent Hill 2, enters the “Fumati Zone”. Check it out after the break.
Here’s the official plot crunch: “The year is 2023 and the world is divided into two tribes – normal humans like us and those nicknamed the Blanks. Through a genetic defect, the Blanks have been born without proper facial features.
A new terrorist group is threatening the status quo. An extremist group of Blanks called the FUMATI can attack and kill anywhere and then disappear back into the population. Using hi-tech devices, they slip through security disguised as their victims. Now it is difficult to know who is the enemy and who is a friend.
Fear stalks the population.
Lenny (John Boyega) is part of the Creeping Zero crew, a security outfit tasked with hunting down the elusive Fumati. He is in love with Camille (Ashley Hinshaw) another member of the CZ squad. But in a full-on Fumati attack, she is snatched and disappears into the night.
Lenny quits the crew and goes in search of Camille. But soon the hunter becomes the hunted when he discovers the shocking truth about this conflict.“

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
