Referring to a new film as "The next..." is a lofty thing to do. How many times have we heard a flick is "The next Halloween" or "The Next Friday the 13th" only to be utterly disappointed in the end? All too often.
So I'm skeptical when the marketing peeps behind Hellmington say it's the next Blair Witch Project. Love it or hate it, The Blair Witch Project was a one-of-a-kind phenomenon. Duplicating its success isn't easy.
But I was surprised after checking out Hellmington's trailer. This film looks pretty decent. Like it has some heart. And it could be compelling, if not a little scary.
Take a look:
This isn't another found-footage movie. It's about a documentarian investigating the disappearance of a horror blogger, who was the first participant at an extreme haunted house experience at an abandoned asylum. Obviously, things didn't go well.
Hellmington is written and directed by Justin Hewitt-Drakulic and Alex Lee Williams, and stars genre veteran Michael Ironside. It hits DVD and Digital Sept. 10.
