[Bloody Disgusting Selects] Swedish Slasher ‘Blood Runs Cold’ Acquired!
Sweden is slowly becoming a cesspool for horror bringing us awesome genre flicks like Let the Right One In and Frostbiten. The latest deep freeze horror comes out of the ongoing Film 4 FrightFest as Bloody Disgusting Selects has acquired North American rights to Blood Runs Cold for DVD and VOD release!
Directed by Sonny Laguna, the film portrays an artist looking to get away from her stressful life who rents a house in her hometown in the Swedish countryside, only to find out it is not as empty as she assumed. It stars Hanna Oldenburg, , Patrick Saxe, Andreas Rylander, Elin Hugoson, and Ralf Beck.
Shot outside Stokholm in subzero temperatures in the winter of 2010 , the film premieres at the Film 4 FrightFest in London August 25th-29th, and made its sales premiere at this years’ Cannes market.

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.”
