Music from The Used, Circa Survive, Sheppard + more
April 15, 2015 - OLD 37, a psychological slasher about two brothers (Kane Hodder + Bill Moseley) posing as paramedics who intercept 911 calls in a retired old ambulance, has partnered with Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada and Epic Pictures Group for the film's North American distribution. Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada will be handling the Canadian market, while Epic's growing distribution division, Epic Pictures Releasing, will be handling the United States.
EPIC Pictures COO, Shaked Berenson stated, "We are proud to add this highly anticipated gem to Epic's growing release slate. Fans will surely appreciate Travers' gritty characters and intense atmosphere." Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada shares a similar sentiment where Susan Curran Director of Marketing and Acquisitions notes that "OLD 37 is one heck of a ride full of gore and terror. We're delighted to be working with Big Picture Media for the Canadian home video and digital release." Epic's CEO, Patrick Ewald added "In OLD 37 you have Kane Hodder (who played Jason in four of the Friday the 13th movies) and Bill Moseley (from Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects and House of a 1000 corpses), playing a pair of deranged brothers who work as paramedics to exact revenge on unsuspecting teenagers. How much better can you get in a horror film?"
Fresh off the worldwide premiere at HorrorHound Film Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio where the film won the award for Best Feature Film, the audience went wild. OLD 37 writer and producer Paul Travers and actor Kane Hodder were on site for a Q&A after the premiere and the positive reactions in the theater were palpable. HorrorHound Film Festival Director Jason Hignite said "OLD 37 comes through with in-your-face visceral horror."
Fast paced and blood soaked, OLD 37 taps into the most basic human fear, vulnerability. The words "don't worry I'm a paramedic" will make you think twice before dialing 9-1-1. For more information on OLD 37, please visit http://www.OLD37TheMovie.com.
