The next seasonal slasher, with a political twist, is poised to strike next month.
Dark Sky Films releases FOUNDERS DAY exclusively to theaters January 19. Directed by Erik Bloomquist from a script he wrote with Carson Bloomquist (the duo behind SHE CAME FROM THE WOODS, TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT and others), it stars Devin Druid, Emilia McCarthy, Amy Hargreaves, Catherine Curtin, William Russ, Naomi Grace, Olivia Nikkanen, Jayce Bartok, Andrew Stewart Jones, Tyler James White, Erik Bloomquist, Adam Weppler, Kate Edmonds, Dylan Slade and Arun Cameron Storrs. The synopsis: “In this bold political slasher from the Bloomquist Brothers, a small town is shaken by a series of ominous killings in the days leading up to a heated mayoral election. As accusations fly and the threat of a masked killer darkens every street corner, the residents must race to uncover the truth before fear consumes the town.”
