Following its world premiere this past weekend at FrightFest London, Hammer Films has unveiled the first trailer for upcoming supernatural survival horror Ithaqua.
Set in 19th century Canada, the film follows Cole Franklin, a mercenary, as he attempts to lead a famine-stricken trading party to a nearby Indigenous village, unaware that their outpost is plagued by an ancient evil, forcing Cole to put his military skills to use in a terrifying fight for survival with an entity that has an insatiable hunger for flesh.
Directed by Casey Walker, the cast includes Luke Hemsworth, Kevin Durand, Michael Pitt, Craig Lauzon, Leenah Robinson, and Pamela Matthews. Watch the trailer below…
Struggling to endure the decline of the fur trade, and beset with a murderous hunger, the occupants of a remote outpost in 1800’s Canada recruit American mercenary, Cole Franklin, as a hired gun and guide. Tasked with leading a trading party to a nearby Indigenous village, any hope for salvation is soon dashed when the quest evolves into a terrifying fight for survival.
As the half-crazed keepers of the Fort plunge their people further into mortal danger, madness ensues and the casualties stack-up, forcing Cole to put his military expertise to unlikely use: uniting the rag-tag band who remain against a dark evil, one that brings an insatiable hunger for flesh.
Ithaqua is coming soon from Hammer Films.
