KANE HODDER AND BILL MOSELEY LEAD A “HAYRIDE TO HELL”

Individually, giving either Bill Moseley or Kane Hodder top billing in a horror film is enough to all-but-guarantee an audience; pair ‘em up, however, and you’ve got a horror match made in hell.

2022’s HAYRIDE TO HELL, starring the iconic duo, has proven its commercial worthiness by selling out screenings around the country. And now, just in time for the spooky season, the hellbilly horror hit has been picked up for worldwide distribution.

From the press release:

Breaking Glass Pictures, a prominent distributor of independent cinema, has acquired worldwide distribution rights to HAYRIDE TO HELL, a new horror film starring Bill Moseley and Kane Hodder.

Directed by Dan Lantz and written by Kristina Chadwick and Robert Lange, the film was shot on Chadwick and Lange’s farm in Pennsylvania.

Set on the Coxe Family Farm in rural Willis County, Farmer Sam (Moseley) exacts his bloody revenge on unscrupulous local town-folk, including Sheriff Jubel (Hodder), who menace him and attempt to steal the farm that has been in his family for 200 years.  

Graham Wolfe, Allyson Malandra, Denise Parella McDonald, Jared Michael Delaney, Shelby Hightower, Melanie Martyn, Brooke Stacy Mills, Aaron Dalla Villa and Cedric “Budge” Casimiro also star in the film, with Impulse-FX providing effects.

HAYRIDE TO HELL, which held its premiere at the iconic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA. in 2022, will be released on digital platforms September 24.
