What will eventually be some of the year’s most talked about horror films are about to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, one of which is no doubt Bruce McDonald’s HELLIONS; a slick looking thriller that takes place on Halloween night. On the heels of its first ever clip is a fantastic new poster, one that presents a shotgun-wielding angel. Awesome.
HELLIONS has its first screening at Sundance this Sunday night.
Strange trick-or-treaters plague conflicted teenager Dora Vogel (Chloe Rose) at her isolated home on Halloween. Under siege by forces she can’t understand, Dora must defend both body and soul from relentless Hellions, dead-set on possessing something Dora will not give them. Set in a visually haunting landscape, Hellions redefines the boundaries of horror with its potent brew of Halloween iconography, teenage angst and desperate survival.
HELLIONS stars Chloe Rose, Rossif Sutherland, Rachel Wilson, Peter DaCunha, Luke Bilyk and Robert Patrick.
