‘Saw’ and ‘Paranormal Activity’ Inspired ‘Undocumented’
Bloody Disgusting just caught wind of an interesting horror film that was shot way under the radar by Shepherd Glen Productions. Being tested at Warner Bros. Pictures this week, Chris Peckover’s Undocumented is said to be a mix of Saw and Paranormal Activity. The features is a suspense thriller in which a documentary crew accompanies a group of illegal immigrants crossing the border, but run afoul when they’re captured by a gang of sadistic Radicals on location in New Mexico. Scott Mechiowicz (Mean Creek), Alona Tal (Night of the Living Dead: Origins), Greg Serano (Terminator Salvation), Kevin Weisman, Tim Draxl, Yancey Arias (Legion), Peter Stormare, Adam Kulbersh, Jsu Garcia, Noah Segan (Cabin Fever 2, Deadgirl), Nick Tucci, Jose Marquez, Deborah Martinez, Carmen, Corral, Lore’l Medina, Castulo Guerra and Greta Quezada all star. We’ll see if we can’t find out more about the film from the producers.
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
