We’ve just gotten word that the upcoming British home invasion horror film Follow the Leader, from writer and director Elliott Maguire, is set to shoot soon in Yorkshire and Manchester.
You’ll find the full details below:
From the Press Release:
After a savage home invasion, a desperate mother must put her trust in a dangerous psychopath in order to find her abducted daughter.
Manchester-based production company They’re Here Productions Ltd will be bringing FOLLOW THE LEADER to the masses in 2017. Elliott Maguire will produce and direct from his original screenplay, with shooting taking place in Yorkshire and Manchester. Follow the Leader is now deep into pre-production with cast and crew announcements coming soon.
Maguire says: “With Follow the Leader I hope to create an intensely visceral experience, taking inspiration from the minimalist horrors of John Carpenter as well as the intense, blood-soaked wave of French horror like Inside and Frontiers.”
The script for Follow the Leader has been well-praised, with various sources claiming it’s a “no-holds-barred, punchy script,” but the film will also be unique in its production and distribution. Maguire plans on shooting exclusively on the iPhone in the same way as recent indie hit Tangerine, using natural lighting to create an immersive visual experience similar to mega-hit The Revenant. In terms of distribution, They’re Here Productions Ltd will be self-distributing exclusively online. This will make the movie accessible to audiences the world over instantaneously and at an affordable price.
Elliott Maguire recently won the Sinister Home Movie contest, getting his short film “Birthday Wishes” onto the special features of Sinister 2’s UK DVD and Blu-ray release, which can be viewed here.
