The Fantasia-premiering creature feature surfaces in wider release next month.
Shudder gives HELL HOLE its streaming debut August 23, following its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival tonight and a second showing at the fest this Wednesday, July 31. Toby Poser and John Adams directed from a screenplay they wrote with Lulu Adams, and the former two also star along with Max Portman, Anders Hove, Olivera Perunicic, Aleksandar Trmcic, Petar Arsic and Bruno Veljanovski. The synopsis: “In the Adams Family’s celebration of the classic creature feature, an American-led fracking crew working deep in the Serbian wilderness find themselves at odds with government-assigned environmental advisors. When they get approval to drill, the workers uncover the unimaginable: a dormant parasitic monster entombed deep in the frozen rock. Now awakened, it tears through the mining facility in search of the perfect host.”
