‘V/H/S’ Spinoff, ‘Siren,’ Brings Hannah Fierman Back As Lily!
Filming began last week in Georgia on Siren, our non-found-footage adaptation/spinoff to David Bruckner’s short film “Amateur Night,” one of the segments featured in the Sundance hit V/H/S.
The biggest question surrounding the production is whether or not Hannah Fierman would reprise her role as the “I like you” demon, Lily. Well, our friends at AICN broke the news this morning that she will indeed be seducing and devouring more flesh!
In Siren, a bachelor party becomes a savage fight for survival when the groomsmen unwittingly unleash a fabled predator upon the festivities.
Gregg Bishop is directing the film. He most recently helmed the magician story in VHS Viral, but landed on our radar with his astounding indies The Other Side and Dance of the Dead.
Slated to premiere on Chiller in 2016, Siren is written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. David Bruckner will be executive producing.
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.”
