Black Fawn Films (Bite, Let Her Out, The Drownsman) is at it again, but this time director Chad Archibald is offering up a change of pace. His latest film, I’ll Take Your Dead, is a powerful genre mashup with solid effects, high tension, great action, and even better performances.

Regarding the departure from the team’s typical genre fair, Archibald had the following to say:

“Years ago I did a documentary where I flew across Canada interviewing people in shelters, a lot of them kids, about how they found themselves getting lured into gang activity. Most of them were truly good people that weren’t given a choice. I wanted to make this film to show good and evil and how the lines often blur. It’s about family, violence, death, and knowing when to put your foot down. We had a stellar cast that brought this script to another level and we’re all excited to finally show it to the world.” 

We’ll be dropping our full review in the near future, but you can check out the debut trailer right now by clicking on the video below. I’ll Take Your Dead is making its world premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival on September 27th. I recommend checking it out if you can, but I’ll let the trailer do the talking.

Plot Synopsis:

William has a simple job: he makes dead bodies disappear. Through circumstances out of his control, his little farmhouse in the country has become a dumping ground for the casualties of gang related murders in the nearby city. His daughter Gloria has become used to the rough looking men dropping off corpses and is even convinced that some of them haunt their house. After a woman’s body is dumped at the house, William begins his meticulous process when he realizes that she’s not actually dead. As the gang activity increases, William patches up the woman and holds her against her will until he can figure out what to do with her. As they begin to develop an unusual respect for each other, the woman’s murderers get word that she’s still alive and make a plan to finish what they started.
