Owning a Home Turns to Hell In Horror-Comedy ‘Hold the Fort’ [Trailer]

Sunrise Films has acquired North American rights to the horror-comedy Hold the Fort ahead of this weekend’s EFM in Berlin, reports Variety.

U.K. sales and distribution company Blue Finch Films has closed a raft of international sales for the film, with Sunrise nabbing the William Bagley-directed feature early.

We also have a teaser trailer for the genre pic, which made its world premiere at Fantasia Film Festival before touring the festival circuit, that looks like the full kitchen sink and a complete blast.

The film centers on a couple, Lucas and Jenny, whose excitement over becoming first-time homeowners turns to terror when they discover their new property comes with deadly strings attached.

Trapped in a conflict between their homeowners association and supernatural forces, the pair must fight for survival in what the filmmakers describe as a horror-comedy take on contemporary housing anxieties.

Sunrise Films plans for a summer release.
