Joining After Dark’s Re-Kill, Murder in the Dark, and The Wicked Within; comes Josh Bear’s Lumberjack Man. From all outward appearances, Lumberjack Man appears to be a cheeky throwback to the slashers of yesteryear, but not in that low-rent and shitty kind of way. This one actually looks pretty fun!
Check out the official Press Release, poster, and trailer below:
The next film in Courtney Solomon’s After Dark Films “8 Films to Die For” is serving up a killer plot. Lumberjack Man will chop his way into the 4th spot of the lineup, in theaters October 16, 2015.
Directed by Josh Bear, produced by Bill Muehl, with story by Josh Bear and Bill Muehl and screenplay by Ed Kuehnel and Matt Entin, Lumberjack Man will add comedic relief to the newly revived, terrifying collection.
“This film has all the right toppings to make up a perfectly frightful feast,” says Stephanie Caleb, EVP, Creative Affairs & Acquisitions. “There’s gore, there’s suspense, there’s spring breakers at church camp, and bloody good pancakes for breakfast.”
The film stars Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill: Vol. 1), Alex Dobrenko (Bloody Homecoming), Ciara Flynn (Replica 114), Chase Joliet (Zombex), and Adam Sessler (X-Play). The deal was negotiated on behalf of After Dark Films by Ian Brereton.
“I am very excited to be working with After Dark Films on the release of Lumberjack Man here in the US and that horror fans will be able to experience the creation of a new icon in this fantastic genre,” says Josh Bear, director of the film and co-founder of Madisonian Films.
“8 Films to Die For” will be released in theaters on October 16, 2015, with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment handling all ancillary forms of media, including Digital HD, DVD, and VOD.
