Sometimes the camera guy wants to get in on the act too!

Charles B. Pierce ("Legend of Boggy Creek") helped invent the stalker-slasher genre with his 1976 film "The Town That Dreaded Sundown."

In this classic blooper, lawmen Ben Johnson and Andrew Prine are joined by one of Pierce's cameramen who is clearly visible in the shot.

Freestyle Digital Media Acquires Horror Feature "THE REENACTMENT" for December Release -- Watch The Trailer HERE!

 


FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA ACQUIRES HORROR FEATURE “THE REENACTMENT” FOR DECEMBER RELEASE

Feature Sets Digital Debut on North American VOD Platforms December 7th



Los Angeles, CA – November 11, 2021 – Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group/Entertainment Studios, has acquired North American VOD rights to the horror feature film THE REENACTMENT. THE REENACTMENT will be available to rent and own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms. The film is set for a North American release on December 7, 2021 through Freestyle Digital Media.

THE REENACTMENT tells the story of a film crew working on a true crime show who find themselves imperiled when they start to film at an abandoned house that may not be abandoned after all.



 WATCH THE TRAILER:




A film crew working on an “Unsolved Mysteries” type of television show (“Myths & Mysteries”) in the mid-1990s gets more than they bargained for when they arrive to film at an abandoned house. The story goes that a couple of bank robbers known as the Wallach Brothers once used this house as their safe house. Unbeknownst to them, it had been recently sold to a young newlywed couple, who ended up spending their first night alone in their new home at precisely the wrong time. 

The bank robbers arrived at the house to lay low after another successful robbery, and brutally murdered the couple they weren’t expecting to be there. Afterwards, the Wallach Brothers disappeared. What happened to the bank robbers has been a mystery ever since. And some mysteries, it turns out, are better left unsolved.

 

 

 
Directed by Andrew Ford and co-written by Andrew Ford & Eli Osman, THE REENACTMENT was produced by Steve Longi, Whitney Wolanin, Andrew Ford, Eli Osman, and Jack Sheahan. It was filmed in Nashville, Tennessee.

The ensemble cast of THE REENACTMENT features Megan Duffy (‘Jane’), James Storm (‘The Killer’), Kaitlyn Bausch (‘Hannah’), Stephen Green (‘Kevin’), Nick Fair (‘Phil’), Madison Boyd (‘Monica’), Corey Knox (‘Jonathan’), Eli Osman (‘Nick Huntsman’), and Nick Huntsman (‘Charlie Monroe’) alongside Tony Todd (Wilbur) of CANDYMAN fame.

“Making THE REENACTMENT has been the experience of a lifetime, and I’m so excited everyone is finally going to get a chance to see it,” said filmmaker Andrew Ford. “Navigating a tricky tonal balance between horror and comedy has its challenges, of course, but I couldn’t have been blessed with a better ensemble cast or a stronger creative brain trust than the ones that brought this to life.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire THE REENACTMENT directly with filmmaker Andrew Ford (Wampus Cat Productions, LLC), producer Steve Longi (Longitude Entertainment), and producers Whitney Wolanin & Jack Sheahan (TopNotch Entertainment Corp.)

See Joe Bob in Atlanta this Weekend! "How Rednecks Saved Hollywood"

 


Tickets are available for performances of Joe Bob's live show at Boggs Social Supply in Atlanta on November 13 or November 14th!


“How Rednecks Saved Hollywood” is Joe Bob's multi-media standup-comedy rant featuring 200 clips and stills covering the complete history of rednecks in America as told through the classics of both grindhouse and mainstream movies.




Rave Reviews from Our Redneck Brothers and Sisters:

 

Having the opportunity to witness the South By Southwest premiere for How Rednecks Saved Hollywood, I can attest that Joe Bob's thesis is far better than any TED Talk you'll ever see.
Jeremy Dick

MovieWeb.com

Part history lesson, part clip show, and all entertaining, Joe Bob’s How Rednecks Saved Hollywood is the man wholly in his element: hilarious, insightful, and courageously plain spoken.
Isaac Thorne
Tennesee Horror.com

How Rednecks Saved Hollywood was an absolute highlight of South By Southwest and an event that fans of Joe Bob Briggs and redneck movies alike should check out. Even if you are only a fan of one or the other, there is no doubt you’ll be entertained and enlightened for the duration of the event.
Melissa Hannon
HorrorGeekLife.com

Joe Bob Briggs would probably blanch at the description, but the cult movie enthusiast, humorist and media personality is above all an astute social critic. All his wit, politically incorrect quips and keen insight into Americans — particularly Americans who reside south of the Mason-Dixon line — was running full throttle when How Rednecks Saved Hollywood, Joe Bob’s freewheeling comedic history lesson peppered with exploitation and mainstream movie clips, kicked some serious ass with a sellout crowd at the Back Alley Film Series and Charlotte Film Society’s presentation at C3 Lab Saturday night. …A rollicking yet well-researched history of the origin of rednecks and our culture’s love-hate affair with them.
Pat Moran
Queen City Nerve

Joe Bob has still got it! We were lucky to host Joe Bob's live event "How Rednecks Saved Hollywood" and it was so fun and funny. Joe Bob graciously stayed after the show and took pictures and signed autographs for all his fans too! They had come out of the woodwork to see the great Joe Bob!
Barak Epstein
Owner, The Texas Theatre

Joe Bob's performance at our theatre was one of the more unique events we've ever hosted! Our audience marveled and laughed while learning a new history behind some of their favorite films, taught by an icon of genre cinema. As entertaining as it was informative, film fans hung on Joe Bob's every word while taking in the expertly crafted multi-media presentation. We can't wait to have him back for another in-depth and hysterical look at our favorite movies!
Mark E. Anastasio
Program Manager, Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation

Joe Bob Briggs is the Henri Langlois of exploitation film. He’s already a cinema saint, and if I were you, I’d pray for his guidance.
John Waters

Horror Thriller "THEY CRAWL BENEATH" Scares Up North American Distribution

 


Trick or Treat - Film Mode Entertainment and Well Go USA 

Scare up North American Deal on Spine-tingling Horror/Thriller 

"THEY CRAWL BENEATH"


 
LOS ANGELES (November 3, 2021) - Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment (FME) is thrilled to announce the North American sale of new hair-raising horror/thriller, They Crawl Beneath, to Well Go USA. The film stars Michael Pare (The Lincoln Lawyer, Gone) and Joseph Almani (Law of Attraction) and is directed by Dale Fabrigar, produced by Suzanne DeLaurentiis, executive produced by Kevin Goetz and co-executive produced by Stephen Hornyak and Neil Goetz. FME will be showing first-look footage to buyers during AFM.
 
“Kevin and Suzanne have produced a phenomenally entertaining film. There is no better partner than Doris and her team at Well Go to bring this wild ride to audiences,” said Epstein.
 
“We’re very excited to team up with FME to bring this film to North American audiences,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO at Well Go USA. “They have a knack for bringing innovative new stories to life for audiences worldwide, and this weaving of creature feature horror with a disaster-thriller backdrop undoubtedly positions ‘They Crawl Beneath’ as an engaging, nail-biting entry to the horror genre.”
 
“We could not be more thrilled to partner with both Well Go USA and Film Mode Entertainment on our movie. Both of these companies have exceptional track records when it comes to marketing and distributing high-octane genre pictures,” says Goetz.
 
They Crawl Beneath follows Danny (Joseph Almani), a young cop working on his Uncle Bill's (Michael Pare) classic vintage car on a secluded ranch when a major earthquake hits. Uncle Bill is crushed, and Danny becomes trapped under the car, creating a claustrophobic nightmare. The situation intensifies when something horrifying emerges out of the cracks in the ground that leaves Danny fighting for his life.
 
They Crawl Beneath is a prime example of Film Mode Entertainment’s continual commitment to working on projects and representing films that successfully elevate the genre bar and offer global audiences a fresh, innovative take on some of the most trusted and in-demand genres in the industry. 

They Crawl Beneath is set for release in 2022 with Well Go USA.
 
Film Mode Entertainment is representing the world on the film.
