Paranoia Takes Root in First Hi-Res Look at ‘The Squad’
After posting the first images from Jaime Osorio’s supernatural war film The Squad (El Paramo), we were supplied with the first two HI-RES looks at the film that begins when all contact with a military base high in the desolate wastelands of Colombia has been lost. The authorities – believing the base to have fallen to a terrorist attack – send a nine-man squad to investigate. When they arrive, the men discover a shocking scene of carnage, and only onesurvivor – a mute woman in chains. Gradually the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside worldand the impossibility of escape begin to undermine the sanity of the soldiers.They start to question the identity of their enemy, and the true nature ofthe strange, silent woman. Is she a terrorist? A victim? Or something moresinister? Something supernatural… Paranoia takes root. Prisoners of fearand the terrible secret they share, their humanity abandoned, the men turn savagely on each other.
A family sinks their teeth into a vicious vengeance quest in the first images from supernatural horror movie Sundown.
The latest from director Rebekah McKendry (Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring) has its World Premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival on August 13, 2026.
Sundown stars Olwen Fouéré (The Watchers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Camille Sullivan (Shelby Oaks, Hunter Hunter), and Summer H. Howell (Mike Flanagan’s “Carrie“) as the central family who’ll encounter what appear to be rather monstrous vampires.
The film follows “three generations of women who reunite in a remote cabin to avenge a loved one’s death, only to discover their captive isn’t who he seems to be and his family is closing in, waiting for sundown.“
Rebekah McKendry directs from a script by Glorious collaborators Joshua Hull and David Ian McKendry.
Daniel Bernhardt (Deathstalker, John Wick), David Alpay (“From”), Kyle Mac (Carrie 2013), Elisa Paszt, Junko Bailey (The Grudge 2019), Megan Best (Time Cut), and David Ian McKendry round out the cast.
The horror film features special effects makeup from Patrick Baxter (“Alien: Earth”, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), and other effects from Creature Cabin and Steven Kostanski’s Action Pants FX.
Producers include Pasha Patriki (Deathstalker), Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt, & James Fler of Raven Banner (V/H/S/94, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon) and Juliette Hagopian (Hunter Hunter). Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash executive produces via his BerserkerGang label alongside Michael Vasicek, Michael Da Silva, and Rodrigo Gudiño.
“Sundown is great,” said Slash. “It is a super tense family vs monster tale that is as claustrophobic as it is terrifying.”
