Official Trailer Released for JUG FACE

The theatrical trailer for Jug Face has been released, and it makes me even more excited to see it. It looks like it's going to an emotional and psychological roller coaster with a very M. Night Shamalamadingdong vibe (and I mean that in the best way possible, at one time he was a great director).

Synopsis: Jug Face tells the story of a pregnant teen trying to escape a backwoods community when she discovers that she may be sacrificed to a creature in a pit. 

And here's the trailer, dig it and let me know what you think!

"Jug Face" Gets a Date, VOD & Theatrical Release for Late Summer

 

I’ve posted about this one before (right here), but it’s finally gotten it’s release date. Gravitas Ventures recently acquired the rights to it’s US VOD rights. We’ll be seeing it’s VOD debut on July 8th, and it’s theatrical debut on August 9th. I honestly hate this whole, “Let’s release it on VOD before we roll it out theatrically”. It’s stupid and it makes no sense. Mainly, I hate knowing that I can watch it immediately but forcing myself to wait. 

Here’s the synopsis (courtesy of B-D.com): “Ada, her family and a small isolated backwoods community worship a mysterious pit. The pit has the power to heal and protect all who honor it but at a deadly price…it demands an occasional sacrifice. The pit communicates through the local potter who, while in a trance, crafts ceramic jugs that carry the face of a person to be sacrificed to the entity that lives within it. Ada has a secret about the latest jug face that she’s determined to keep hidden but the pit demands a sacrifice and unleashes an evil onto the community until it gets who it really wants.”

Put It On Your Radar: JUG FACE

This one comes to us from writer/director Chad Crawford Kinkle, and it’s his first major release. This seems to be quite the year for new directors to start making their name in horror, first we have Fede Alvarez with (in my opinion) amazing reimagining of Evil Dead, now we have Jug Face.

Here’s the official synopsis: The pit has spoken. Dawai, the potter of a backwoods community, has crafted a face on a ceramic jug of the person that the pit wants sacrificed. Ada, pregnant with her brother’s child, has seen her face on the jug and hides it in the woods, determined to save the life of her unborn. If she does not sacrifice herself however, the creature from the pit will kill everyone in the village until she does.

While this isn’t normally something I’d jump at, I am very interested. It sounds cool, but it also sounds like it could go either way. It stars Lauren Ashley Carter, who was in The Woman by Lucky McKee (my God do I love Lucky McKee), so that perks my interest as well.

Honestly though, the poster is pretty badass, so I’ll go check it out when it gets released. It’s currently slated for a late-July VOD release, with a theatrical run to follow. Check out the one-sheet below.
