‘One Way Trip’ to Trippy 3-D Slasher
Zurich-based HesseGreutert Film and Vienna’s Superfilm are to co-produce the first 3D feature film to come from Switzerland and Austria. Markus Welter’s One Way Trip (sweet title), which is described by the producers as “an intelligent slasher film with gothic elements and an unexpected ending“, is set to begin its six-week shoot from the end of September. The screenplay about a group of young people falling into the murderous clutches of a madman as they search for hallucogenic mushrooms in Switzerland’s Jura Mountains was written by Austrian screenwriters Matthias Bauer and Bastian Zach. Hopefully it doesn’t become an unintentional redo of Shrooms.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.
“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”
Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
