Full Motley Cast of Mutants For ‘Wrong Turn 4’
Back in January we broke the news that Fox Home Entertainment was gearing up for Wrong Turn 4, with the studio tapping Wrong Turn 3 director Declan O’Brien to return behind the camera.
With shooting underway in Birds Hill Park, Winnipeg, the local press reports that the role of “Three Finger” is being played by Sean Skene and “One Eye” is being played by his actor-brother Daniel Skene. Their father Rick Skene is the film’s stunt co-ordinator. Rounding out the killer trio is Winnipeg actor Scott Johnson as “Sawtooth.”
Playing a potential victim of the deranged locivores is Winnipeg actress Jennifer Pudavick as Kenia, whose resume has a number of horror offerings including Wishmaster III, Wishmaster IV and The Plague. Tenika Davis also stars.
“In the fourth film in the popular franchise, a group of friends decide to go snowmobiling during their winter break. They make a “wrong turn” getting lost in a storm and seek shelter in an abandoned sanatorium. They are completely isolated by the storm, but the sanatorium has a troubled past and some of its former patients still reside there and are not happy about the intrusion. In a deadly game of cat and mouse the college kids must fight to survive the night. Only their wits can save them in this scary showdown locked away by the elements reminiscent of the classic film The Shining.”

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.”
