The Hulu streaming service recently announced that they will be releasing the Hellraiser reboot starring Odessa A’zion on October 7th – and Deadline reports that on the same day, another horror film starring A’zion, The Inhabitant, will be getting a 100+ screen theatrical release courtesy of Gravitas Ventures. You can watch the trailer for The Inhabitant in the embed above.
Directed by Jerren Lauder (Stay Out of the F**king Attic) from a screenplay by Kevin Bachar, who works primarily on nature documentaries, The Inhabitant finds A’zion taking on the role of
Tara, who like any other teenage girl is just surviving high school — yet her father Ben and mother Emily seem strangely distant. Amidst a nearby spree of gruesome ax murders, Tara has sightings of terrifying entities, forcing her to question her own sanity and shocking ancestry. After a visit to her aunt in a mental asylum and a night in Lizzie Borden’s actual home, Tara realizes she is inextricably tied to the horrifying curse that has plagued her bloodline for almost a century. As victims pile up and the police close in, Tara is left with no choice but to face her own demons.
A’zion is joined in the cast by Leslie Bibb (Jupiter’s Legacy), Dermot Mulroney (Young Guns), and Lizze Broadway (The Rookie).
Leone Marucci of Steelyard Pictures produced The Inhabitant with Petr Jakl. Martin J. Barab, Roy Scott Macfarland, and Ara Keshishian serve as executive producers. Gravitas Ventures’ Brett Rogalsky provided the following statement:
This creative team has crafted an incredible horror movie with The Inhabitant, which is not only effective and scary but constantly engaging and entertaining. Movies like this are the kind that stay with you long after the credits roll.”
Highland Film Group is handling the international rights and will be presenting The Inhabitant to potential buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival. Highland’s COO Delphine Perrier said:
With an overriding theme of female empowerment coupled with a thoroughly modern approach, The Inhabitant will definitely appeal to the younger generation. This is an intense horror film full of suspense and intrigue and is a great addition to our TIFF slate.”
