The Reckoning, The Descent, Dog Soldiers, and Hellboy director Neil Marshall returns to the screen soon with an all-new action-horror flick called The Lair.
Written by Marshall, the original story centers on a downed Royal Air Force pilot who escapes a terrifying bunker in Afghanistan containing mutant man-made biological weapons and unwittingly brings the creatures back to a US Army base.
Marshall says: “If The Reckoning was a gothic drama in testament to the power and resilience of women, then The Lair is my true return to full-blooded horror and intense genre action in the style of Dog Soldiers, The Descent and Doomsday.”
Tell me more, tell me more.
Marshall adds: “I’m making something scary as hell, pulse-pounding, and great fun. This is a crowd-pleaser. An adrenaline-pumping roller-coaster ride. Spectacular and loud; inspired by classic genre movies like Aliens, Predator, and The Thing and their incredible use of practical creature FX.”
Marshall will also produce The Lair, which is currently casting for a spring production start. Highland Film Group is handling worldwide sales at AFM.
