Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Wendigo and Monstrous director Bruce Wemple’s FIRST CONTACT. Coming to Digital and DVD June 6, 2023.
The creature feature, which features strong practical effects and an outstanding performance by Wemple film-staple Anna Shields, premiered to raves at Panic Fest in April.
FIRST CONTACT tells of two estranged adult siblings, Casey and Dan, who travel to their late scientist father’s farmhouse to make sense of his incomplete work. They soon learn that their father’s work was far more dangerous than they could ever imagine: An evil entity, buried in time and space for millions of years, has been released and has begun wreaking havoc on the locals. One by one the bodies start to pile up. Now, Dan and Casey must figure out the secrets of this extra – dimensional monster before it’s too late.
Says Keith Leopard, President of Uncork’d Entertainment: “Bruce Wemple’s latest film has it all – a strong script, incredible effects, terrific performances, and brilliant direction. After a such strong response at Panic Fest, we expect the film to do very well when we release it in June.”
James Liddell, Chris Cimperman, Caitlin Duffy, Paul Kandarian also star in the pic, which Uncork’d is planning to bow on digital and DVD.
