AFM ’11: Get a Taste of Family ‘Greed’
First announced last AFM was the French psychological thriller from director Eric Guirdo (The Grocer’s Son) entitled Greed. Said to be based on tragic events that made major headlines back in 2003, we got our hands on the official sales art and imagery for the flick starring Jérémie Renier (Brotherhood of the Wolf), Julie Depardieu , Alexandra Lamy, and Lucien Jean-Baptiste.
“Bruno and Maryline are dreaming of a better life. The couple move to a small town nestled in the breathtaking French Alps where they are greeted by their landlord Patrick and his beautiful wife Gladys.
Because their home is not yet ready, Patrick puts them up in another house – but what begins as temporary housing soon turns into a series of moves from one place to the next, until Bruno and his family end up in a hotel, still waiting for their home. As their bitterness and anger builds up, so does intense jealousy over their landlords’ wealth, happiness and success-culminating in a bloody outcome.” 
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
