A World Premiere out of last months SXSW, sci-fi horror Pod has been picked up for day-and-date theatrical and VOD release this fall by Vertical Entertainment.
The second feature from young, stylish director Mickey Keating (Ritual), Pod stars Lauren Ashley Carter (Jug Face), Dean Cates and Brian Morvant. The latter plays a veteran holed up at his familys wintry lake house, convinced something terrible and otherworldly is in the basement, His paranoia signals his brother and sister to take a ride up, and an all-night ordeal plays out.
Pod is a manic, high energy piece of work which, like Ritualm features jarring, cinematic stylistic assaults throughout. You can see Shocks full review of the film, as well as our talk with Keating about it here. The director has already completed production on a third feature, the Carter-starring black-and-white psychothriller Darling, and is gearing up to shoot the 70s-set survival horror Carnage Park this summer.
