The dash-and-slash feature debut from filmmaker Hope Madden, Obstacle Corpse has just finished its festival tour, where it gathered awards and screened at Joe Swanberg’s (Netflix’s Drinking Buddies) secret video store. Now watch the bloody story of teen Sunny (Sylvie Mix, Poser) trying to prove herself to her survivalist dad on the world’s deadliest race course.
In the film, Mix’s character, feeling overshadowed by her sisters, signs up for a mysterious obstacle course race with her equally unprepared friend, Ezra. But as they witness military-style enforcers, creepy race organizers, and a series of brutal murders, the two quickly realize that they’re running for their lives.
“I’m a lifelong horror fan, writer and critic, and I made Obstacle Corpse for everyone who loves laughs and a genuine story with their gooey head smashes,” said Madden. “But you never know what will connect, and we’ve been so honored by the reception, and people telling each other they have to see it.”
Madden penned the screenplay as well as directed the film that featured a female-led crew and a cast of notable up-and-coming and established indie actors.
Obstacle Corpse has now crossed the finish line and premieres on July 14, 2023, on Prime Video.
