Exclusive photos, plus trailer and release info: Lynn Lowry and Felissa Rose lead monster-vs.-monster film “A HARD PLACE”

The movie begins a roadshow theatrical release early next year.

Horror faves Felissa Rose (pictured above) and Lynn Lowry (1st photo below) are among the cast of A HARD PLACE, from indie writer/director J. Horton (CRAVING, THE CAMPUS). Kevin Caliber, Glenn Plummer (SAW 2), Bai Ling (THE CROW) and Sadie Katz (WRONG TURN 6) also star. The synopsis: “A group of criminals on the run find themselves caught in the middle of an ancient feud between the creatures that roam the day and the monsters that rule the night.”

A HARD PLACE will have its world premiere on January 12 at the Englewood Cinema in Dayton, OH, followed by a nationwide theatrical tour that will continue through March. This will be followed by a drive-in theater run, showcasing this monster bash in its natural habitat, in spring 2025, and the movie will be available on streaming platforms later in the year. For info on venues and dates for the various screenings, keep an eye on the movie’s official website.
