Horror fans, get ready for a wild ride south of the border! Anchor Bay Entertainment, newly revitalized under founders Thomas Zambeck and Brian Katz, has just acquired the worldwide rights to “Cursed in Baja,” a promising new horror film set to make its world premiere at this year’s FrightFest on August 23, 2024.
Star Power Meets Indie Horror
“Cursed in Baja” boasts an impressive pedigree both in front of and behind the camera. The film stars genre icon Barbara Crampton (“You’re Next,” “Re-Animator”) and Jose Conejo Martin (“The Tax Collector”), alongside Jeff Daniel Phillips, who pulls triple duty as star, writer, and director.
Horror fans will recognize Phillips from his frequent collaborations with Rob Zombie, including roles in “3 From Hell” and the recent “The Munsters” reboot. This marks Phillips’ directorial debut, and expectations are high given his experience in the genre.
A Journey into Madness
While plot details are still under wraps, we know that “Cursed in Baja” follows Pirelli, an ex-lawman who travels to Mexico in search of an heir to a Los Angeles fortune. As he confronts his complicated past, Pirelli encounters something in Baja that challenges him to his very core.
Thomas Zambeck of Anchor Bay describes the film as “an intense journey into madness, destined to take its place among the genre-bending classics that have come to define indie film.” This tantalizing description, coupled with the talent involved, suggests we’re in for a unique and unsettling experience.
Anchor Bay’s Horror Renaissance
This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Anchor Bay Entertainment, a name once synonymous with cult horror releases. Their commitment to “uncover, curate and release unique films that leave an indelible mark on the cultural landscape” bodes well for horror fans hungry for fresh, boundary-pushing content.
