A Lonely Place to Die (June 3)

A Lonely Place to Die is a British action thriller film directed by Julian Gilbey from a screenplay co-written by Julian and Will Gilbey. The 2011 film follows the story of five hikers as they hear cries of pain in the wilderness and to their horror it’s a little girl buried in the ground. When they decide to get her to safety they are chased by the kidnappers.

Travis Stevens, producer of films such as A Horrible Way to Die, The Aggression Scale, Starry Eyes and We Are Still Here (all fanatasic genre films may I add), turns his hand to directing with a haunted house film that, ultimately, feels like a lesser entry in the Amityville franchise.

In a surprising move, former wrestler-turned-mma fighter Phil Brooks takes the lead as a man tipped over the edge while renovating his new family home. However bursting pipes, rotting walls and unidentifiable slime were not what Don Koch (Brooks) expected when he convinced his pregnant wife he could renovate their new Victorian home himself. In over his head, under duress, and tempted by his old weaknesses – especially from a mysteriously seductive neighbour – Don soon...

After a much-buzzed-about festival run, theatrical, and VOD release, Travis Stevens' Girl on the Third Floor is making its way to Blu-ray and DVD on January 7th, 2020.

"Bursting pipes, rotting walls, and unidentifiable slime were not what Don Koch (WWE legend Phil "Cm Punk" Brooks) expected when he convinced his wife, Liz (Trieste Kelly Dunn), that he could rehab their new Victorian home himself. In over his head, under duress, and tempted by his old weaknesses, Don soon discovers that the house has its own dark, sordid history and won't be so easy to renovate after all...."

Written and directed by Travis Stevens, Girl on the Third Floor stars Phil "C.M. Punk" Brooks, Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, and Travis Delgado. In case you missed it, Heather Wixson interviewed Phil Brooks about Girl on the Third Floor on a recent episode of our Corpse Club podcast.

I’ve got a great trailer for a new horror film that you’ve got to check out. The movie is called Girl on the Third Floor, and it looks like it offers a unique take on the haunted house genre.

The film centers on Don Koch (Phil "Cm Punk" Brooks) who attempts “to renovate a rundown mansion with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans.” As you’ll see in the trailer, Don’s experience takes some twisted turns and things start to descend into a hellish madness.

This seriously looks like it’s gonna be a great horror movie! I loved what the trailer had to offer. There are some super creepy and disturbing visuals. Travis Stevens directed the film, and it also stars Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, Karen Woditsch, Travis Delgado, and Marshall Bean.

"This house has a history of bringing out the worst in people." Dark Sky Films has released an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Girl on the Third Floor, the feature directorial debut of veteran indie producer Travis Stevens (of Snowfort Pictures). This received some rave reviews from SXSW where it premiered earlier this year, and will likely be a sleeper hit once it opens in theaters this fall. Professional wrestler / superstar grammar slammer "Cm Punk" stars as Don Koch, a man tries to renovate a rundown Victorian mansion, only to learn that the house has other plans. Also starring Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, Karen Woditsch, Travis Delgado, and Marshall Bean. This seriously looks like one of the most creative, clever, twisted, scary ass modern twists on a "haunted house" film. Holy crap. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Travis Stevens' Girl on the Third Floor,...

In her four-star SXSW review, Heather Wixson wrote that Travis Stevens' Girl on the Third Floor "feels like if Clive Barker and H.P. Lovecraft had teamed up to make The Money Pit," and ahead of its release this October from Dark Sky Films, a trippy new trailer has been revealed, offering a look at a home renovation gone hellishly wrong.

Written and directed by Travis Stevens, Girl on the Third Floor stars Phil "C.M. Punk" Brooks, Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, and Travis Delgado.

Dark Sky Films will unleash Girl on the Third Floor in theaters and on digital platforms beginning October 25th. We have the new trailer and poster below, and check here to read Heather's review and her interview with Travis Stevens, Phil Brooks, Trieste Kelly Dunn, and Sarah Brooks.

Last week, prolific indie genre producer Travis Stevens celebrated the premiere of his directorial debut, Girl on the Third Floor, which screened as part of the Midnighters slate of programming at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival (you can read my review Here). While in Austin, Daily Dead sat down with Stevens as well as several of the Girl on the Third Floor cast members, including Phil Brooks (who fans worldwide also know as Cm Punk), Trieste Kelly Dunn, Sarah Brooks, Elissa Dowling, and Travis Delgado, and we chatted about finally having the film out there in the world after its premiere at the fest, the real-life inspirations behind the story of Girl on the Third Floor, and their experiences working together out in Frankfort, Illinois.

Both Stevens and Phil Brooks also discussed taking their respective careers in new directions with their collaboration, and how much Girl on the Third Floor was...

Home improvements may be the death of you in “Girl on the Third Floor,” a likable supernatural thriller with Phil Brooks aka former WWE wrestler C.M. Punk as an expectant first-time father whose haunted fixer-upper serves up temptations he thought he’d left behind. This first directorial feature by prolific indie producer Travis Stevens tips its cap to a number of bigger, sometimes better horror opuses, resourcefully if not quite memorably reducing their tropes to a smaller scale (and budget). Yet if the story isn’t ultimately a knockout, the film’s atmospherics and sense of humor are winning nonetheless. “Girl” should do well at genre fests as well as in streaming.

Unemployed and lucky to be un-incarcerated in the wake of a deal with the Feds (we don’t find out the precise nature of his crime until late in the film), Brooks’ Don Koch is trying to bury...

Chicago – The movie love story is a staple, but rarely has it been explored in the way co-writer/director Laura Madalinski takes it on. The polyamorous adventures of three people is the basis for “Two in the Bush: A Love Story,” the next feature film at the Midwest Independent Film Festival on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018, at Chicago’s Landmark Century Centre Cinema. For more details and ticket info, including the topic of the before-the-film “Producers Panel,” click here.

“Two in the Bush” is the story of Emily (Sarah Mitchell), who has broken up with her live-in girlfriend and loses her job at the same time. She finds refuge on the couch of close friend Rosa (Melissa DuPrey), who also sets her up for employment as the front desk attendant in a leather shop, with the added attraction of dominatrix rooms for their kinky customers. One of the main “doms” is...
