‘Southbound’ Trailer Opens the Ground to Hell
Many of you know that Brad is the producer on an upcoming anthology horror film by the name of Southbound, a film that reunites him with several directors and producers of the V/H/S trilogy. Ever since word of the film began spreading word, many of you have been asking for a trailer, something that we’ve also been extremely anxious for.
Well, today is the day that we get to deliver and I think you’re going to be very pleased with what you see! There’s a pervasively eerie tone throughout that highlights the stark locations, the Lynch-esque characters, and the haunting apparitions that we never quite see clearly. Also, make sure to watch it a few times, keeping a close “eye” out for all the little things that you might miss the first time through.
“On a desolate stretch of road, weary travelers — two men on the run from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation — are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales of terror and remorse on the open road.”
Southbound, set for release through The Orchard, includes stories directed by Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner, Patrick Horvath and Radio Silence, will be receive a limited theatrical run starting February 5th before heading to VOD on February 9th.
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.”
