Robert Hall’s Almost Human Blends Digital and Practical FX For ‘WER’
Bloody Disgusting learned today that Robert Hall and his newly re-branded Almost Human Inc. is tackling the Makeup and Visual Effects for WER, the found footage werewolf flick shooting next month in Romania.
The Devil Inside‘s William Brent Bell will direct from a screenplay by longtime collaborator Matthew Peterman. It takes place in police station with the suspect turning into a werewolf.
Hall has embraced the hybrid approach of both practicle and digital effects work as seen in his Laid to Rest films, alongside Don Coscarelli’s forthcoming John Dies at The End, “Wilfred,” and the Steven Schnieder (Paranormal Activity, Tall Man) produced Sxtape, among others.
“It makes sense,” says Hall. “I’ve been trying to achieve the perfect balance of digital and practical on my films for years and so many folks have taken notice that we just cant keep it to ourselves anymore…it’s growing, and making the company stronger.” He continues, “I’ve done several movies with Steven Schneider and I really loved the script for WER. Matt, Brian and Morris really know what they want and are not afraid to collaborate. I’m very excited about what we’re making together on this picture.”
Hall jokes: “Its juicy…in all the right places…“
Brand new shark attack horror movie The Devil’s Mouth debuts globally on Prime Video on July 29, and the streamer has released the brand new official poster this afternoon.
Kathryn Newton (Abigail, Lisa Frankenstein, Ready or Not 2), Lana Condor (Pretty Lethal), Nico Hiraga, Gavin Casalegno, Tommi Rose, and Tayme Thapthimthong star.
In the film, “Five friends set out on one last adventure along Thailand’s stunning coast, eager for a final thrill before life in the real world begins. They sign up for a guided swim through a remote cave system known as The Devil’s Mouth, a natural wonder that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgiving. Deep inside the labyrinth of narrow waterways, their journey takes a terrifying turn when they discover that a freak storm the week before flooded the caves with sea life.
“The creatures died in the fresh water, but something survived… and it’s hunting them now— fast, silent, and deadly. Every corridor they round is overflowing with anxiety, and every wrong turn becomes a deadly encounter. As panic spreads and their sense of direction slips away, the group begins to fracture.
“Trust erodes, fear takes over, and survival becomes a savage game. In the suffocating darkness, every choice could be their last as they learn that to make it out alive, sacrifices must be made.”
Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare, Imaginary) directs the shark attack movie from a script he revised from Aja Gabel (“Sunny”) and Myung Joh Wesner (“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”).
