Terror Firma | From Brian Yuzna's New Horror Label

[DR Herbert West]

Brian Yuzna & John Penney Launch New Genre Label with ‘Terror Firma’ in August

Horror masters Brian Yuzna (Re-Animator, Society) and John Penney (Return of the Living Dead III, The Kindred) have joined forces to launch the brand new genre label Dark Arts Entertainment, and first up from the distribution company is the film Terror Firma.

Dark Arts Entertainment will release Terror Firma on Blu-ray August 27, 2024.

Spinning a modern-day allegory of the turbulent times we’re living in, Terror Firma is described as a sci-fi thriller and debut film from writer-director Jake Macpherson. “It weaves a dark, out-of-this-world mystery of family, betrayal, and deadly flora,” Dark Arts previews.

In the film, “When struggling artist Lola has nowhere else to go, she uncomfortably leans on her older brother Louis for help. They haven’t seen each other in over a year and the awkwardness is hard to hide as he welcomes her to stay with him in his run-down East Hollywood home. There’s one catch though… Lou has a strange roommate named Cage whose instant interest in Lola is made agonizingly clear. Within minutes of Lola’s arrival, the city of LA goes into a vague, mysterious lockdown with not much information for anyone other than the occasional police message from a circling helicopter. As the city keeps everyone inside, a packet of seeds arrives from the outside with no label and no answers.

Back in the day if Brian Yuzna's name was attached to something I would generally check it out...those days are long gone.

Not sure about this one.
