Ahead of its world premiere at FrightFest this August, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director DW Medoff’s upcoming horror Your Host.
The film sees four friends retreat to a luxury cabin to celebrate a birthday, only to find themselves drugged and transported to a abandoned factory where they are forced to participate in a series of brutal games in a sadistic serial killer’s gameshow-like torture room.
The cast includes Jackie Earle Haley, Ella-Rae Smith, Jamie Flatters, David Angland, and Joelle Rae. Check out the trailer below…
Four 23-year-old friends go on a birthday retreat to a luxury cabin, while partying, they find a VHS Camcorder filming them from the woods. During the night they are drugged in their sleep by a man in all black who stays hidden in the shadows…but when they wake up, they find themselves in an abandoned factory transformed into a gameshow-like torture room.
Their captor is a deranged host in an orange-velvet suit with a terrifying mask who forces the friends to play games and hurts them if they lose.
In a twist of fate, it seems this is not random abuse. The host has a connection to one of the friends and he keeps it a secret. He gives them all a chance to admit it was them, to set three free and kill the one. When his target victim doesn’t come clean, the brutal games continue.
To survive, they must play unique and deadly games that only a psychotic gameshow host could invent. The host laughs as the friends betray, hurt, and eventually start to kill each other. But the only way to escape…is to win.
Your Host will premiere at FrightFest on August 22nd.
