Over the weekend, Uncork’d Entertainment acquired the rights to Pitchfork, the debut feature of Emmy-nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard, with a view to releasing it early next year. To celebrate, they’ve put out this still of the film’s titular killer.
Described in the press release as a “highly anticipated horror spectacle,” Pitchfork is directed by Packard from a script by himself and Darryl F. Gariglio, who also executive produces.
Synopsis:
Having recently shared a life-changing secret with his family, Hunter recruits his friends to come with him from New York to the farm where he grew up as he faces his parents for the first time. As the college students enjoy the fresh air of Michigan farm country, an older, more dangerous secret slowly emerges. While Hunter navigates a new place within his conservative family, a vicious creature from their past descends on the farm, putting the unsuspecting city kids in mortal danger.
Making his feature debut is Brian Raetz as Hunter, who stars alongside fellow newcomer Lindsey Nicole, Rachel Carter (Jack-O), Andrew Dawe-Collins (Train Station) and Daniel Wilkinson (K-Shop), as the vicious and deadly Pitchfork.
“Glenn [Douglas Packard] has created a monster for the ages,” says Uncork’d Entertainment president Keith Leopard. “The film is nothing short of chilling, and I’m very excited to be teaming up with Glenn and the team to bring it to audiences across the globe.”
Keep an eye out for Pitchfork in the new year.
