BLACK SITE: Tom Paton’s Lovecraftian Kick-Ass Sci-Fi Thriller Gets An Official Trailer
London’s Arrow Video FrightFest kicks off on August 23 at the Prince Charles Cinema with several program announcements to follow. One such update came on Thursday courtesy of Jonathan Barkan at Dread Central with an exclusive first trailer for Tom Paton’s martial arts-induced John Carpenter/H.P. Lovecraft hybrid, Black Site.
A young woman is forced to push past her worst fears and battle to deport an ancient entity back to where it came from. Set inside an underground military base known as The Artemis Black Site, the movie mixes an Escape From New York style survival story with Lovecraftian elements and large scale mythology building.
Paton directs from his own script debuting martial artist and actress Samantha Schnitzler in her first feature film role. She’s joined by Simon Pegg sib, actor Mike Beckingham and Bentley Kalu, with Kris Johnson getting in on the action as the villainous “Elder God”, Erebus; there’s notable mention of “Elder Gods” in the trailer coinciding with some cool shots of Schnitzler throwing down amidst the sci-fi spectacle.
Black Site doesn’t have any known release dates yet while Dread Central is announcing its FrightFest 2018 closure on August 27.
