Indie filmmaker Mickey Keating (Darling, Ritual, Carnage Park, Pod) is back with his brand new horror movie, Offseason, which Bloody Disgusting learns will release in limited theaters, Digital HD, and on VOD platforms March 11, 2022, via RLJE Films.
Written and Directed by Keating and starring Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil) and Joe Swanberg (You’re Next, The Sacrament), this American Gothic horror follows a woman (Donahue) who travels to a desolate island town after receiving a mysterious letter and soon becomes trapped in a nightmare.
“Upon receiving a mysterious letter that her mother’s gravesite has been vandalized, Marie quickly returns to the isolated offshore island where her late mother is buried. When she arrives, she discovers that the island is closing for the offseason with the bridges raised until Spring, leaving her stranded. One strange interaction with the local townspeople after another, Marie soon realizes that something is not quite right in this small town. She must unveil the mystery behind her mother’s troubled past in order to make it out alive.”
Bloody Disgusting recently shared several brand new photos that give us a small taste of Keating’s atmospheric horror that also stars 31 and 3 from Hell‘s Richard Brake.
Trace reviewed the film out of its SXSW World Premiere, writing that, “Offseason too often treads familiar territory and there’s not really enough plot here to merit a full-length feature, but Keating’s strong visual style and Donahue’s endearing presence make it a film worth checking out.”
