We first talked to the filmmakers behind Lost After Dark last October. Writer, Bo Ransdell and writer/director, Ian Kessner seem to have a firm grasp on what made the 80’s such a special time in the horror genre, and their latest film hopes to bring that to life in this modern era. That’s why we can’t help but smile at the news of Anchor Bay’s acquisition of the film.

Expect Lost After Dark to hit DVD and Blu-Ray shelves on September 1st. As always, we’ll keep you posted on the latest as it comes our way.

Spring Ball, 1984. Adrienne (Kendra Timmins, Midnight Sun, “Wingin’ It”), a straight-A student, joins her quarterback crush Sean (Justin Kelly, Maps To The Stars, Big Muddy) and some friends in sneaking out of their high school dance for some unsupervised mayhem. The teens’ party plans hit a snag when they run out of gas on a deserted road. They head out on foot and discover a rundown farmhouse where they hope to find help. Instead they find themselves at the mercy of Junior Joad (Mark Wiebe, Sweet Karma), a cannibal killer from an urban legend. After the brutal murder of one of their friends, the group’s quest for help becomes one of survival. Will anyone survive the night?
