Vertical Entertainment has unveiled the new trailer for Jordan Downey‘s medieval horror film The Head Hunter ahead of its April arrival.
The film centers on a lonely, twisted trek of a bounty hunter (Christopher Rygh) who seeks vengeance on the monster that killed his only daughter.
“On the outskirts of a kingdom, a quiet but fierce medieval warrior protects the realm from monsters and the occult. His gruesome collection of heads is missing only one – the monster that killed his daughter years ago. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he travels wild expanses on horseback, using sorcery to aid in his quest. When his second chance arrives, it’s in a way far more horrifying than he ever imagined. A heartbreaking fairytale with a black soul, the film is constructed with very few elements, minimalistic and epic at the same time, where fantasy and horror find their more physical and gory incarnations.”
The movie screened at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain and took home Best Overall Feature Film and Best Cinematography awards at the Nightmares Film Festival.
Downey not only directed but co-wrote the film with Kevin Stewart (Unfriended: Dark Web) who also served as director of photography. Downey and Stewart also produced along with Ricky Fosheim. Erin Moody served as associate producer.
The Head Hunter will be unleashed on April 5, 2019, from Vertical Entertainment.
