American Mary and Ginger Snaps star Katharine Isabelle is set to topline Spanish studio Filmax’s Torment. She’ll co-star with “Sanctuary” actor Robin Dunne in the Jordan Barker (The Marsh) directed home-invasion thriller.
Written by Michael Foster, Torment follows a family of three as they discover that they are not alone during what was supposed to be a quiet family getaway. Production on the film kicked off this week. Filmax is the studio behind the international hit franchise Rec.
Isabelle, best known for playing Ginger Fitzgerald in the werewolf movie series Ginger Snaps, will next be seen in Jen and Sylvia Soska’s medical frightener American Mary. Notable creds include Freddy Vs. Jason, Chris Nolan’s Insomnia, Uwe Boll’s Rampage, and the Katie Holmes’ vehicle Disturbing Behavior.
A sales trailer has gone online for writer and director Stephen Sommers’ adaptation of Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas, starring Anton Yelchin (Fright Night), Willem Dafoe (Antichrist), Addison Timlin and Addison Timlin’s breasts (“Californication”).
Odd Thomas is a short-order cook (Yelchin) who can speak with the dead and identify evil forces. When a mysterious man arrives in his small California town, Thomas is convinced that doom accompanies the stranger. Caught in the mix are his girlfriend (Timlin) and the local police chief (Dafoe).
Dimension Films and Radius TWC have released a red band trailer for producer Eli Roth and Chilean director Nicolás López’s Aftershock, a white-knuckle disaster flick inspired by the aftermath of the 2010 Chilean earthquake.
Aftershock stars Roth, Ariel Levy and Nicolás Martínez as dudes whose efforts to get laid by sisters Lorenza Izzo and Andrea Osvárt and their Russian model girlfriend Natasha Yarovenko during a night of club hopping are thwarted when an earthquake and tsunami hit.
I caught a media screening of this film and can’t stress enough how much of a blast it is… like The Hangover for horror fans. It opens in selected theaters on May 10. Don’t miss it.
