Alexandra Daddario Keeps the Party Going in This ‘We Summon the Darkness’ Clip [Exclusive]
We recently shared the trailer for the 1988-set horror film We Summon the Darkness, which stars Texas Chainsaw 3D‘s Alexandra Daddario caught in the middle of a killing spree of murderous Satanists who have already left 18 dead throughout America’s Heartland.
In the film, three best friends, Alexis (Daddario), Val and Beverly embark on a road trip to a heavy metal music festival. In this exclusive clip, we see them bond with three seemingly fun-loving dudes and head off to Alexis’ country home, a very secluded place, for an afterparty.
What should be a night of fun and youthful debauchery may instead take a dark, deadly turn…
We Summon the Darkness also stars Alita: Battle Angel‘s Keean Johnson, with Jackass madman Johnny Knoxville, Maddie Hasson (God Bless America), and Amy Forsyth (“Channel Zero: Dream Door”).
Directed by My Friend Dahmer‘s Marc Meyers, the film premiered at last year’s Fantastic Fest where Meagan Navarro called it a “metal mayhem joyride.”
Headbang to the horror on VOD and Digital HD April 10.
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.”
