You Can Enter Victor Salva’s ‘Dark House’ This March!
The horror-suspense feature Dark House, starring the iconic Tobin Bell (Saw), has officially announced its day-and-date roll-out in March, Bloody Disgusting learned.
On March 11, Cinedigm launches the film in North American across cable, VOD, Blu-ray Disc and DVD. Paladin will release the movie in New York and Los Angeles on March 14, with additional markets to follow.
Dark House, which follows the terrifying road trip of a young man in search of his dark past, is the freshman effort of LA-based Charles Agron Productions. The company, which expects to announce an international distribution deal in coming days, is also in early stages of pre-production on a second horror title, Monday at 11:01AM.
Dark House is directed by Victor Salva, a genre favorite whose two Jeepers Creepers films broke box-office records and are seminal in the horror canon. Salva co-wrote the script with producer Charles Agron, based on a story by Agron.
“Dark House is a thrilling and horrifying road trip, full of twists and brutal surprises; a suspenseful thriller about a young man and a chilling old house that has survived decades, awaiting the return of its prodigal son… a house that can escalate Nick’s gift to see death before it happens, but holds within its walls the origins of a dark family legacy so horrible it may have already reached out to Nick’s unborn child.“
Headlining the cast is Tobin Bell. Up-and-coming young actor Luke Kleintank (Pretty Little Liars, 1000 to 1) stars, along with Alex McKenna (Crossing Jordan”, “Dallas), Zack Ward (Postal) and multiple award-winner, Lesley-Anne Down (Upstairs/Downstairs).
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.”
