On August 28th, production will begin in Carson City, Michigan on THE VISITORS, a film which writer/director Jeremy Hull is crafting in the vein of John Carpenter's THE THING and Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD. When taking inspiration from films that have come before, you can't do much better than those two.
Starring Ava Dalgaard, Michael Edwards, Anna Rodriguez, and Rachel Claire, THE VISITORS will tell the following story:
After settling into their new home in the country, the Cooper families night of peaceful relaxation is brought to an abrupt halt when two mysterious drifters come knocking on their door. As the drifters attempt to unleash a strategic plan of terror upon the unsuspecting family, their plan is soon foiled by a flesh eating creature fixated on only one thing; survival. In order for the family to survive the night they must entrust in the one person who once sought to harm them, but as the events of the evening begin to unravel it becomes clear that there is more to this situation than meets the eye and more than one monster lurking in the shadows.
Sounds like the makings of a good time to me.
In preparation for principal photography, Hull has shot two teaser trailers, which can be seen below. He's also running an Indiegogo campaign with a very reasonable goal, aiming to raise $5000 to help pull off the effects and stunt work. If you'd like to take a look, the campaign page is here.
