Shawn Ashmore & Garret Dillahunt Star in Serial Killer Thriller ‘The Huntsman’

Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) and Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”) star in The Huntsman, a serial killer thriller based on the 2022 novel of the same name by nurse-turned-author Judith Sanders.

Strive Global Media is serving as the sales representative for the film, which will premiere at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin, Deadline reports.

Ashmore stars as ICU nurse who volunteers as a reader for a recovering coma patient (Dillahunt) who is the prime suspect in the savage murders of six young women in a small southwestern town.

Elizabeth Mitchell (“Lost”) co-stars as the suspect’s wife, struggling with the mounting complexities of the investigation. With a seasoned detective, played by Jessy Schram (“Chicago Med”), on the case, numerous suspects come to light, and each new revelation leads to a shocking twist.

Kyle Kauwika Harris directs from a script he co-wrote with Steven Jon Whritner.

“The Huntsman is that rare gem, a delicious thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and has a touch of nostalgia for the great classic thrillers of the ’90s,” Miriam Elchanan, President of Sales & Acquisitions at Strive Global Media, said in a statement. “We are so pleased to be representing it.”

Whritner added: “We’re thrilled that Strive Global Media has embraced The Huntsman and will be introducing it in Berlin. As an elevated thriller with an exceptional ensemble cast, it’s vital that our film is represented by such an experienced sales team, one that’s shown a genuine passion for the material.”

The Huntsman is produced by Safehouse Films and Plymouth Rock Entertainment.
