Check out our exclusive clip from the film that teases what dangers await these young filmmakers:
Director Paul A. Brooks said,
“I wanted to make a horror movie that toys with your expectations. Hunting For The Hag starts as one thing and then morphs into something totally different. There’s a lot of twists and turns, so hopefully our audience has fun with that. This is a film about three women making a film and having all of it go horribly wrong.”
Hunting For The Hag stars Daniel Roebuck (Final Destination, Rob Zombie’s The Munsters). Jasmine Williams, Alexa Maris, Sierra Renfro, Thomas A. Jackson, Steve Christopher, and Nathan Brandon Gaik. The film was directed by Brooks from a script he co-wrote with Sierra Renfro.
“The Hag is a legendary entity that’s part of the Illinois folklore. Supposedly, her name was Ollie Yarger and she was someone who lived in Hawthorne, IL in the early 1800s. She was falsely accused of murdering a child and was hanged for the crime,” Brooks added. “The legend says that she haunts the woods, seeking vengeance on those who killed her. In reality, I was inspired by an 80 movie called Mother’s Day, which tells the tale of three women on a camping excursion and a deformed woman named Queenie, who also roams the woods.”
Hunting For The Hag will be available on digital and VOD on April 2, 2024, from Lion Heart Distribution.
