Jenna Kanell (Terrifier, Renfield) is attached to star in the ocean-set survival horror film The Hatchery, Deadline reports.
Currently in early pre-production, Howard J. Ford (The Dead) will direct the all-female cast from a script by Tim Pickett.
In the film, eight women awaken in darkness inside a cargo container with no memory of how they got there. Captives of a human trafficking ring, their fight for survival turns even more desperate when a violent storm hurls their container into the ocean.
Stranded at sea, they band together against the odds — until one of them begins to change. Her wounds heal unnaturally fast, her strength grows monstrous, and the others realize the truth: she’s not just a victim, but the product of a horrifying experiment. Trapped with a predator, survival takes on a whole new meaning.
Alliance Media Partners has signed on as worldwide sales agent ahead of next month’s American Film Market.
“This project is going to be raw and terrifying – I want audiences to feel trapped in that container with these women as the tension builds and then explodes,” comments Ford. “Our team will deliver a film that shocks, thrills and stands out. Strap in – it’s going to be a wild ride!”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Howard and the team to bring The Hatchery to AFM,” added Anthony Buckner, AMP’s Head of Sales, Acquisitions, and Distribution. “This is a high-concept horror which shines a light on sensitive issues in a way that global audiences can easily relate to. We’re excited to be able to share it with international buyers in Los Angeles.”
