Ian Kessners Lost After Dark isnt content to homage the 80s subgenre many hold dear, its planting its feet in the decade as well. Set in 84, the slasher sees a set of high schoolers encounter an urban legend. Will they survive? Probably not.
Anchor Bay has announced a September 1st Blu-ray and DVD release for Lost After Dark, the feature debut from Ian Kessner. The Canadian indie is set at the Spring Ball, 1984. Adrienne (Kendra Timmins), a straight-A student, joins her quarterback crush Sean (Justin Kelly) and some friends in sneaking out of their high school dance for some unsupervised mayhem. The teens’ party plans hit a snag when they run out of gas on a deserted road. They head out on foot and discover a rundown farmhouse where they hope to find help. Instead they find themselves at the mercy of Junior Joad (Mark Wiebe), a cannibal killer from an urban legend. After the brutal murder of one of their friends, the group’s quest for help becomes one of survival.
Below, see a previously released trailer and the neat poster art thats reminiscent of 1982s Alone in the Dark. Can Lost After Dark touch that Jack Sholder gem?
