“Fear the Night” Theatrical Poster
Action star Maggie Q (Naked Weapon, The Protégé, Nikita, Gen Y Cops, Die Hard 4) gives home invaders some butt-kicking in Fear the Night, an upcoming action-thriller from director Neil LaBute (House of Darkness).
Eight women attend a bachelorette party at a remote farmhouse in the California hills. They are interrupted by the arrival of masked intruders who surround the place and begin shooting arrows at the home and the guests. One partygoer — Tess, a military veteran who is fighting her addictions and her difficulty at fitting in with other people — leads the women in making a stand against the attackers as they fight back in an effort to save themselves over the course of a single dark night.
The film also stars Kat Foster (Jean-Claude Van Johnson), Travis Hammer (Big Sky), Gia Crovatin (Out of the Blue), Ito Aghayere (Logan Lucky), Highdee Kuan (Proximity) and KeiLyn Durrel Jones (Out of the Blue) and Laith Wallschleger (Operation Dragon).
Fear the Night is in Theaters, On Digital and On Demand on July 21, 2023 from Quiver Distribution,
It’s interesting that Neil LaBute would direct this since most of his work is based around dialogue driven drama. One of the many occurring themes of his theatre and film work is misanthropy, so one has to wonder how that will play out here.
