He Never Left

Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label DREAD (and sister company to Dread Central) presents He Never Left, a new kind of slasher perfect for those looking for more blood in their horror movies. Directed by James Morris (The Witching Season), the film had a successful festival run and is now slashing its way onto a screen near you.

In the film:

After hearing strange noises coming from an adjoining motel room, a federal fugitive and his girlfriend become targets of the notorious “Pale Face” killer, whose legend has haunted the local community for decades.

Watch the new trailer:

Morris directed the film and co-wrote it with Michael Ballif (They Live Inside Us, The Witching Season) and Colin Cunningham (Falling Skies, Preacher).

“I’m hopeful that He Never Left will resonate with audiences on a deeper level than what they might expect.” says writer, director, and co-star James Morris. Co-writer and star Colin Cunningham notes, “These are people already navigating their own personal hell, and Satan just welcomes them to the neighborhood.”

He Never Left, the second feature produced by Witching Season Films, was partially funded by enthusiastic fans in a successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and was shot entirely on location in Fairview, Utah, and Spanish Fork, Utah.

“As fans of the slasher genre, we wanted to create something that feels both familiar and nostalgic, yet refreshing and different. I’m thrilled for audiences to experience the ride we’ve crafted in He Never Left,” says co-writer and producer Michael Ballif. 

Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald says, “He Never Left is a brilliant homage to ’80s/’90s slashers with a shocking twist. The Pale Face killer, crafted by visionary James Morris, is the new face of evil.”

Colin Cunningham, Jessica Staples (The Deceiver), James Morris, Sean Hunter (Soulless), Charla Bocchicchio (Yellowstone), David E. McMahon (The Inspectors), Jake Watters (They Live Inside Us), and Will McAllister (Worst Prom Ever) star in the film. Produced by Michael Ballif and James Morris.

He Never Left will have a limited theatrical run beginning November 1 before coming to VOD on November 5, 2024.
