One of the characters in the upcoming indie horror film All Your Friends Are Dead laments, “In movies starring middle-aged people if they die, they die from heart attacks, some rare blood disease, cancer, or diabetes. Not knives, machetes, or chainsaws. Nothing sexy like that.” Well, this movie is about to change all of that! “When 35-year-old Matt Wilbee looks at the current state of his life, he recognizes through depression that his best years may be far behind him. After making the drastic decision to end his life, he writes an email alerting the estranged, but once inseparable, high school friend group dubbed, “The Pack,” that he will be saying goodbye for good at the camping grounds they all had last seen one another at. Rushing to his side, Matt’s old friends arrive just in time at the campsite to save his life…but little do they know, a deranged masked killer is lurking in the woods, ready to pick

Just ahead of its release, Lionsgate has shared an all-new clip for the horror-thriller Escape the Field, about a group of six strangers who must work together to solve a puzzle in order to survive. In the clip we see the group discovering that items they’ve found along the way can be used to operate things in the field such as water faucets and unlock new clues. “The fear is inescapable and the suspense nonstop in this gripping horror-thriller about six strangers who suddenly awaken in a remote, endless cornfield. Stripped of their possessions, they are left with only six items: a gun with a single bullet, matches, a lantern, a knife, a compass, and a flask of water. As mysterious sirens blare in the distance and traps appear at every turn, the group realizes it’s been plunged into a cat-and-mouse game with an unseen evil, and survival depends upon solving a diabolical — and deadly — puzzle.” Joshua Dobkin
