Next year kicks off with notable horror movies including Scream (1/14), Morbius (1/28), and The Black Phone (2/4), but you might not want to overlook Warhunt from Saban Films, a World War II-set horror movie that gives rise to a pretty impressive trailer this afternoon.
Mickey Rourke, Jackson Rathbone (Twilight), and Robert Knepper star in the supernatural horror movie, In Theaters, On Demand and Digital on January 21st, 2022.
The trailer begins very much like Overlord, with a plane going down and a group of soldiers uncovering a supernatural evil. The U.S. soldiers discover dead bodies with their internal organs removed, and it would seem that sinister demons are prowling around in the woods behind enemy lines. “I’m going to get my boots a little dirty,” Mickey Rourke says in the trailer, which then cuts to a shot of Rourke, wearing a gold eyepatch over one eye, blasting away at *something* with a machine gun. Mickey Rourke vs. World War II demons. Yup. Sold.
Watch the trailer for Warhunt below!
The film is set in 1945…
“A US military cargo plane loses control and violently crashes behind enemy lines in the middle of the German black forest. Immediately ruthless Major Johnson (Mickey Rourke) sends a squad of his bravest soldiers on a rescue mission to retrieve the top secret material the plane was carrying. Led by Sergeant Brewer (Robert Knepper) and Walsh (Jackson Rathbone), the soldiers venture deep into the forest near the crash site. They soon discover hanged Nazi soldiers and other dead bodies bearing ancient, magical symbols. Suddenly their compasses fail, their perceptions twist and straying from the group leads to profound horror as they are attacked by a powerful, supernatural force. Fighting for the dainty and struggling to survive they must uncover the shocking truth behind the force before the Nazis and do everything they can to remove all evidence it ever existed, even at the cost of their own lives.”
Reggie Keyohara III and Scott Svatos wrote the film, directed by Mauro Borrelli.
