Actor Paul Logan has seen some crazy things and gone up against some creepy creatures over the course of his career. With titles like MEGA PIRANHA, COBRAGATOR, SKOOKUM: THE HUNT FOR BIGFOOT, WAY OF THE VAMPIRE (in which he played Dracula), ALIENS ON CRACK, VAMPIRE IN VEGAS, CANNIBAL TABOO, THE CURSE OF THE KOMODO, and KOMODO VS. COBRA on his résumé, his is certainly accustomed to working in the genre, so it's not much of a surprise that his first writing credit is on a horror movie.
Logan wrote the screenplay for THE HORDE, a film directed by Jared Cohn, and stars in it as
ex-Navy SEAL John Crenshaw, who accompanies his girlfriend and her students on a weekend nature-photography expedition deep in the woods. What should be an educational and fun-filled trip turns into horror as the group is besieged by an unspeakable evil: a horde of hideously disfigured, mutated humans with an insatiable taste for blood. With the stakes higher than ever, John must once again embrace the life he left behind and become the unstoppable combat soldier he was to track down and kill the horde. The mutants have no idea who they are up against when the hunters become the prey in this life-or-death, kill-or-be-killed conflict that proves how much one man will do and endure to save the woman he loves and get them out of this hell alive.
Logan's great supporting cast includes horror icon Bill Moseley, Costas Mandylor of the SAW franchise, Vernon Wells of THE ROAD WARRIOR and COMMANDO, Tiffany Brouwer, and Matthew Willig.
Filmed at the end of 2014, THE HORDE will finally be receiving a release in the United States and Canada on May 6th, when Gravitas Ventures will be getting it out on several VOD platforms: iTunes, Google Play, YouTube Movies, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, Microsoft Video Store, PlayStation Network, Hoopla; also in the US on AT&T U-VERSE, DISH, DirectTV, Cox, Charter on Demand, Verizon FiOS, Suddenlink, Mediacom, Insight, WOW, RCN, Eastlink TV, Rogers on Demand, and Shaw.
This seems like a cool movie to me. If the plot description and the cast aren't enough to sell you on checking out THE HORDE next month, maybe its awesome trailer will sway you:
