Mike Mendez’s ‘Don’t Kill It’ Dated for Release; Dolph Lundgren vs. Demons!
Around these parts, we’re big fans of director Mike Mendez. He’s the man behind gems like The Gravedancers and the supremely entertaining Big Ass Spider! and Lavalantula, and he also directed one of the best segments of 2015 anthology Tales of Halloween. Up next from Mendez is the Dolph Lundgren-starring Don’t Kill It, which now has a release date.
We’ve just learned that Archstone Distribution will release Don’t Kill It in limited theaters on March 3rd. It’ll also hit Digital VOD via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on the same day.
In his Fantastic Fest review here on Bloody Disgusting, Trace Thurman praised the festival hit, calling it “the epitome of a popcorn film [that] should be seen on a Saturday night with lots of drinks and plenty of friends.” He added, “You’re pretty much guaranteed to have a blast.”
You’ll find the trailer below.
In the film, “An ancient evil is unleashed in a small Alaskan town leaving a trail of death and destruction as it passes from host to host. The only hope of survival lies with a grizzled demon hunter (Lundgren) who has faced this terror before. Together with a reluctant FBI agent (Kristina Klebe) he has to figure out how to destroy a demon with the ability to possess its killer.”
Don’t Kill It was written by Dan Berk (Body) and Robert Olsen (Body) of Last Pictures.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
