First Clip From ‘Pay the Ghost’ Is a Parent’s Worst Nightmare
The first clip from the upcoming Nicolas Cage thriller Pay the Ghost shows Cage’s character Mike and his son Charlie, played by Jack Fulton, standing in line at a Halloween festival to get some ice cream. Mike turns his back for one second to pay for the treat and when he turns around, Charlie is gone, nowhere to be found. You can see the clip below.
The synopsis for Pay the Ghost reads:
When English literature professor Mike Lawford’s (Nicolas Cage) takes his son Charlie (Jack Fulton) to a Halloween parade, Charlie mysteriously disappears.
A year later, Mike begins to see visions of his missing son and he suspects there’s a link between Charlie and hundreds of other missing children. As Mike begins to put the clues together, he uncovers something more terrifying than he ever imagined…
Pay the Ghost comes out on DVD & Blu-Ray on October 26th, 2015.
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.”
