‘You’re Next’ Is Coming To Comic-Con!! Watch The Movie And Attend The Masters Of The Web Panel!!
Lionsgate will be bringing You’re Next, the much anticipated slasher from filmmaking duo Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S, V/H/S/2) to Comic-Con this year! I loved this movie, so I’m excited to announce that it will be screening Wednesday, July 17th at 9pm at the Reading Cinemas Gaslamp Theatre (followed by a John Campea moderated Q&A with Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett and star Sharni Vinson).
I’m also stoked to be a guest on the horror edition of the “Masters Of The Web” panel that’s happening in conjunction with the film. That’s right, you can throw soft objects at me if you want! That happens on Thursday, July 18 at 1130AM in room 24ABC. Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett will moderate the event. The full list of guests for the panel is as follows: Ryan Turek (ShockTillYouDrop.com), Evan Dickson (Bloody-Disgusting.Com), Grae Drake (RottenTomatoes.Com), Heather Wixson (DreadCentral.Com), Lawrence Raffel (FearNet.com), James “Jimmy O” Oster (JoBlo.com). It’s hosted by John Campea (AMC Theatres). AMC is generously providing free movies passes to all attendees of the panel this year!
In theaters August 23, the film reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. “When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.” You can follow the film on its awesome Tumblr, as well as Facebook and Instagram.
We have FOUR tickets to giveaway! If you live in San Diego, or will be there for SDCC, leave a note in the comments telling us WHY you want to see the movie so bad! I’ll pick the winners within a week and notify them.
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.”
