Armed with a gun and a single silver bullet, one woman must try to survive the three-night cycle of the werewolf in The Haunted and the Hunted. Presented without any dialogue, the post-apocalyptic horror film promises to be a unique take on werewolf lore.
The first teaser trailer gives us a glimpse of a woman, drenched in blood, and terrified as a howl is heard in the distance, ready to make her stand.
Award-winning playwright Lenny Schwartz makes his feature directorial debut from his own screenplay. New England indie horror staple Sheri Lee stars in the film that features special effects artists Izzi Galindo (The Batman, “True Detective”) and Erminio Pinque are teaming up to bring the terrifying creatures to the screen.
The Haunted and the Hunted is currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo. Backers have the opportunity to become involved with the production, including appearing on screen as a dead body. Other perks include producer credits, premiere tickets, and more.
“I first started writing this film in 2015,” notes Schwartz. “After refining it for years, I finally decided I had to direct it. When I met Sheri Lee, the picture was complete in my head. I have thought about it nonstop since, and I won’t stop until the premiere.”
The Haunted and the Hunted is scheduled to begin shooting this fall in Rhode Island, with the film aiming for a 2023 release.
