Everyone here? The trailer for HEAD COUNT has arrived!

I’ll be back with a round up of Snap Judgment trailers sometime in the near future. Until then, I couldn’t wait to share the first look at Elle Callahan’s awesome looking debut Head Count, which premiered last year at the LA Film Festival to great word of mouth. I’ve been anticipating ever since, and I think this trailer is a piece of marketing perfection: show you enough to get you in, and ultimately show you nothing at all. Check it!

Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the horror/thriller HEAD COUNT in theaters and on digital and On Demand June 14, 2019. 

The film premiered at the 2018 Los Angeles Film Festival, and Ashleigh Morghan was honored with the Nightfall Special Jury Prize for a Lead Actor.

HEAD COUNT is directed by Elle Callahan (“Happy Deathday”) in her feature film debut, and Callahan co-wrote the script with Michael Nader (The Toll, Flock of Four).  The film features an up-and-coming cast including Ashleigh Morghan (Native Son, “Snowfall”), Isaac Jay (Flock of Four) and Sam Marra (“Homecoming,” “Awkward”).

Newcomer Evan joins a group of teens on a getaway in Joshua Tree. While exchanging ghost stories around the campfire, Evan reads aloud a mysterious chant from an internet site. From that moment, someone–or something–is among them. As unsettling, inexplicable events become more frequent, Evan realizes this summoned shape-shifting creature is targeting them to fulfill a deadly ritual.

Spielberg, Hill, Verhoven, Cronenberg, Landis, Carpenter, Lucas, Friedkin, and many others built my taste in youth. Then filmmakers from Italy, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Spain crept in. Now I'm an unstoppable film fiend, and living and breathing ALL the visual mediums you can find. I'll take any excuse to talk movies or TV, so writing and podcasting are my outlets!
