80s-set Slasher Lost After Dark out this September

Ian Kessner’s Lost After Dark isn’t 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 that’s reminiscent of 1982’s Alone in the Dark. Can Lost After Dark touch that Jack Sholder gem?
