The-thompsons

XLrator Media, LLC announced the launch of “Screamfest” and “Macabre” multi-platform releasing labels to bring the best in horror and genre films to North American audiences.

The labels will showcase thrilling new horror visions from American and international filmmakers.  

The first films set for release under the Screamfest banner will be zombie actioner Outpost: Black Sun – the sequel to Outpost – and the Norwegian thriller Thale, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and recently screened at Screamfest Horror Film Festival.

Based on actual accounts and events, the video conspiracy document Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes (opening in limited release today) and the vampire tale The Thompsons will be the first releases under the Macabre banner.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on The Butcher Brothers’ return to Hamiltons territory, The Thompsons.  A few months back, Shock was the first to show off the sales art you see to the right.

With Cannes upon us, we now have a NSFW trailer!

In the sequel, a bloodbath at a gas station in the desert puts the Hamilton vampire family on the run, eventually seeing them resurface in the U.K. under a new identity as “The Thompsons.” Desperate for protection in this unfamiliar country, the Thompsons seek out the help of a shadowy underground rumored to be sympathetic to vampires.

The original cast are reprising their roles, with Cory Knauf, Samuel Childs, Mackenzie Firgens and Joseph McKelheer being joined by newcomer Ryan Hartwig as the youngest sibling “Lenny.”
