"Your Host"
Benacus Entertainment and RNF Productions announce that their dark and gruesome horror, "Your Host", is set to have its World Premiere at this year's FrightFest on 22nd August.
Directed by DW Medoff, "Your Host" stars Academy Award-nominee, Jackie Earle Haley ("Watchmen"), Ella-Rae Smith ("The Stranger"), Jamie Flatters ("Black Dog"), David Angland and Joelle Rae.
Commenting on the film, Producer Seth Michaels has expressed his delight in Your Host's Official Selection at FrightFest. "It’s a true honour to have our world premiere at FrightFest, a festival that has showcased some of the most iconic and trailblazing films over the decades. We hope the audience connects with 'Your Host' in the same powerful way they’ve embraced past genre-defining works."
The film follows four 23-year-old friends that go on a birthday retreat to a luxury cabin, while partying, they find a VHS Camcorder filming them from the woods. During the night, they are drugged in their sleep by a man in all black who stays hidden in the shadows...but when they wake up, they find themselves in an abandoned factory transformed into a gameshow-like torture room. Their captor is a deranged host in an orange-velvet suit with a terrifying mask who forces the friends to play games and hurts them if they lose.
In a twist of fate, it seems this is not random abuse. The host has a connection to one of the friends and he keeps it a secret. He gives them all a chance to admit it was them, to set three free and kill the one. When his target victim doesn’t come clean, the brutal games continue.
To survive, they must play unique and deadly games that only a psychotic gameshow host could invent. The host laughs as the friends betray, hurt, and eventually start to kill each other. But the only way to escape...is to win.
