Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has carved-out July 11 as the debut date for the third installment in the “Hi” series of horror anthologies, Hi-Fear.
Hi-8 kicked off the cycle in 2013 and Hi-Death arrived on the scene in 2018.
Teaming up for this four-story creepfest are three-time “Hi” series contributors Brad Sykes (The Pact, Plaguers, Within the Woods), Todd Sheets (Dreaming Purple, Bonehill Road, Ouija Death Trap) and Tim Ritter (Catnado, Sharks of the Corn, Twisted Illusions).
Rounding out the team is Anthony Catanese (Hi-Death alum, plus Girls Just Wanna have Blood, Sonomaniac and the Doc Rotten short series).
The connecting element, or wrap-around, is Brad Sykes’ “What are You Afraid Of?,” which introduces us to comic illustrator Natalie (played by Kristin Lorenz — 8 Days to Hell, The Blood Thins, The Night Seekers) who has the assignment of coming up with the graphics for four horror tales.
In the best tradition of the classic Amicus horror anthologies (The House That Dripped Blood, Tales from the Crypt, Asylum), Todd Sheets delivers the first segment, “Losing It at the Devil’s Whorehouse,” followed by Tim Ritter’s “When Shadows Come Alive” and then comes Anthony Catanese’s “The Streets are Watching”… and then this horror outing is all wrapped up with the final segment from Brad Sykes, “Day Out of Days.”
For genre fans, the Hi-Fear horror anthology on DVD from Wild Eye Releasing will be something worth waiting for … July 11 cannot come soon enough!!
Bonus goodies include two commentary options … one featuring the four filmmakers and the second is an unspecified “producers” commentary. There is also the featurette titled “'They Came From LA: The Making of Day Out of Days.”
