Directed by John Geddes (Exit Humanity), the film stars Stephen McHattie (Pontypool, The Watchmen) as Charlie Baker, a dying gravekeeper who’s forced to take one final job. It features an eclectic cast including female lead Siobhan Murphy, Julian Richings, Boyd Banks (Exit Humanity), Mark Gibson, and some iconic cameos including Bruce McDonald (Pontypool).
An ode to classic horror and fantasy, Hellmouth is a VFX spectacle that chronicles Charlie Baker’s dark descent through Gothic landscapes, demonic worlds, and medieval realms as he journeys to discover the secret behind a mysterious cemetery.
“I wanted to create a story-driven film with fantasy and horror combined. Something that was directly inspired by the era of Hitchcock and even Ed Wood,” said Geddes last year. “Working with a writer like Tony Burgess [Pontypool] was a pleasure as we both love the simplicity in many of the old classic films of the 50′s and 60′s, and even earlier in films like Nosferatu and Faust. We worked really hard to make Hellmouth something fresh.”
