Remeber the original THE PURGE movie from way back when? Remeber the film’s “villain”, the Ivy League blonde dude? Yeah, well the guy was evidently such a scary and effective horror movie villain that someone thinks he should get back in the game.
This time the blonde guy with the (slightly) creepy smile (aka Rhys Wakefield) will be heading after peeps in THE GRAND SON. The film comes to us from award-winning filmmaker Robert Logevall and writer Abram Makowka and will be premiering on digital this August from Uncork’d Entertainment.
Here’s what the film is about:
High in the Hollywood Hills, Tod and his sister, Lani live a charmed life in mansion of their grandmother, a former movie star now hosting a home shopping show with failing ratings. She sees her grandchildren as spoiled and entitled and when Tod senses that his lifestyle is in jeopardy he hatches a diabolical plot to keep the home shopping show going and the money rolling in.
Along with the above-mentioned Wakefield, the new horror-thriller co-stars Academy Award Nominee Lesley Anne Warren (CLUE), Fabianne Therese, Nathan Keyes, and Sarah Clarke (the TWILIGHT franchise). Once again, THE GRAND SON will be hitting digitally on August 14th, and then will be hitting DVD come November 6th.
