Anchor Bay Marks ’08 Release for Laid to Rest

From the director of Lightning Bug



Anchor Bay Entertainment announced it has acquired and penciled in an unknown release date later this year for Robert Hall’s second directorial effort Laid to Rest.

Shock recently exclusively spoke to Hall in-depth about the slasher film here.

The follow-up feature to his critically acclaimed semi-autobiographical Lightning Bug, and Hall’s first excursion into horror as a director, Laid to Rest stars Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Bobbi Sue Luther, Lucas Till (The Hannah Montana Movie), and Headey’s Sarah Connor Chronicles co-star, Thomas Dekker. The film also co-stars Sean Whalen, Kevin Gage (Heat), Nick Principe and veteran character actor Richard Lynch.

Laid to Rest is the story of a young girl (Bobbi Sue Luther) who wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by a metal-masked serial killer. Isolated in an unfamiliar rural town, she must survive the night and outsmart the technologically inclined murderer, who is hell-bent on finishing what he started.
