Ritual and Pod director Mickey Keating is taking on survival horror with Carnage Park, which is based on a shocking true story.
“After a bank heist goes awry, two criminals and their hostage flee deep into the wilderness only to find themselves in Carnage Park, a remote stretch of desert used by an unhinged ex-military sniper to recreate his own twisted war games.”
“The film will be a nod to the mean and dirty crime films of the 1970s, and the intense, unflinching energy of the fight for survival films by directors like Boorman and Peckinpah,” said Keating. “It’s a harrowing story, set almost entirely during the day, against a blinding backdrop of the California desert.”
Eric B. Fleischman and Sean Tabibian’s Diablo Entertainment is producing and financing.
Production is slated to begin this spring.
