Got to love when a film switches up its title. It confuses the shite out of us horror journalists but eventually we catch on… sometimes later rather than sooner. It was pretty easy to remember this film was once called APPLECART because 1) that was a terrible title and 2) because it boasts an impressive cast which I took notice of months back, including Brea Grant, AJ Bowen, and Barbara Crampton.
Anyhow, today we have word Bradford Baruh's directorial debut is now being called DEAD NIGHT (better title?). And today we also have a new poster and a new trailer for the recently re-titled flick. On top of all that, we also have word today that Dark Sky Films will be releasing the film into theaters and VOD/Digital July 27th… the same day IFC Midnight will be releasing the movie we just reported on OUR HOUSE. Interesting.
Along with the above-mentioned cast of Brea Grant, AJ Bowen, and Barbara Crampton, the film also stars Sophie Dalah, Elise Luthman, Joshua Hoffman, and Daniel Roebuck and follows:
James and his wife Casey load up their two teenage kids and head out to a remote cabin in Oregon for a weekend trip. When James heads into the snowy forest in search of firewood, he encounters an enigmatic woman passed out in the snow. Bringing her back to the cabin for help, the family has no way of knowing that the woman's presence is the catalyst for a series of events that will change their lives forever. Mixing original storytelling with timeless supernatural elements, Bradford Baruh's directorial debut features a stellar cast of genre favorites including AJ Bowen and Barbara Crampton and delivers a wild and blood-soaked weekend away.
