November 4: First report/photo from HUNTER’S MOON
The recently wrapped creature feature HUNTER’S MOON (which we first reported on here, and which we’re giving you an exclusive first look at above) is double-dipping in the genre pool. It’s both a psychological horror film and an old-school monster movie rolled into one. “There’s a quality to the monster and a quality to the story,” says writer/director Mark Stouffer of his California-filmed 22-day wonder. “I think the audience will buy it.”
HUNTER’S MOON tells the story of a young man (Devon Sawa of FINAL DESTINATION and IDLE HANDS) who is having recurring nightmares in which he and his friends are slaughtered by an otherworldly creature called The Catcher. In an attempt to cure him of his bad dreams, his friends take him to a secluded forest—where the visions indicate The Catcher is—to prove that the creature only exists in his dreams. Well, guess what? The Catcher is real, and the slaughter becomes a bloody reality. The cast of the $2.5-million feature also includes Latin singing star Fernanda Romero, Dan White, Sanoe (BLUE CRUSH) Lake, Matthew (BOLTNECK) Lawrence and Siena Goines. On the all-important creature side, Jordu (ALIEN RESURRECTION) Schell was responsible for the Catcher design, Jon (UNDERWORLD) Dawe and George (ALIEN VS. PREDATOR) Bernota handled the animatronics and Lance (GHOSTS OF MARS) Wilhoite is coordinating the visual FX.
Sawa also acknowledges the cross-matching of subgenres in HUNTER’S MOON. “This is not so much horror as it is a psychological thriller with some sci-fi elements,” he states. “We’re not doing a Rob Zombie thing where we’re killing people right and left. But at the end of the day, this is a creature feature and it is going to scare people. If I didn’t think this was going to be good, I wouldn’t have done it. We’re doing something a little bit different, a little bit cooler.” Look for a full set-visit report on HUNTER’S MOON in Fango’s pages next year. —Marc Shapiro

Devon Sawa to Star in Hunter's Moon
August 25, 2005Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Idle Hands) has signed on as lead in Mark Stouffer's horror/sci-fi feature Hunter's Moon. Principle photography starts in September.
This is the second collaboration for Stouffer and Sawa—Sawa once portrayed director/writer/producer Mark Stouffer in the Warner Brothers/Morgan Creek feature Wild America, based on the true-life story of Mark and his two filmmaking brothers, growing up in Arkansas. Stouffer created and produced Wild America with James Robinson, Steve Tisch and Gary Barber.
Hunter's Moon is the first in a multi-picture slate of horror films to be produced by Stouffer's company over the next three years. All are in the under $5 million budget range, and financed through private investors. Hunter's Moon is the story of four young couples drawn to the remote dunes for off-roading in their extreme machines. But the outing turns into a night of terror when they are attacked by the Catcher, a skilled and brutal hunter of human specimens for alien science.
Next in the production line-up is Murder House, co-written with Dennis Johnson, to be directed and produced by Stouffer. Murder House is the story of a mentally unstable writer who is haunted by the ghosts of the murder victims, and their killer, that he is researching. Additional camera-ready projects include Bone Eater, Escargot and Hell's Well.
Says Stouffer, "The horror market has always run from tepid to hot, but never cold. It's a reliable commodity worldwide, as attractive to its core audience, as it is to my investor pool, looking for market-wise ventures.
Hunter's Moon is headquartered at LA Center Studios, where casting is wrapping up. Executive producer Mark Litwak represents the project for worldwide sales. Jay Sedrish also exec produces, with Wendy Winks co-producing.
