In the case of A Hard Place, however, monsters that roam the day and creatures that rule the night are separate entities, and they’re both out to kill genre favorites like Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp).

The indie horror-thriller will be released on VOD on May 27.

After a botched job leaves a trail of bodies behind, a gang of desperate criminals seeks refuge in a remote desert hideout. But their plans fall apart fast when they discover the area is home to something far worse than the law — an ancient war between monstrous predators of day and night. As tensions rise and the body count climbs, the crew must decide if survival is worth trusting each other or the creatures hunting them.

Lynn Lowry (Shivers), Rachel Amanda Bryant (M.F.A.), Kevin Caliber (“Future Man”), Ashley Undercuffler (Craving), Glenn Plummer (Saw II), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6), and Bai Ling (The Crow) also star.

J. Horton (Craving) directs from a script he co-wrote with Michael J. Epstein (Clickbait).

“A Hard Place has been by far the most ambitious project I’ve ever made. This movie would not exist if not for the talent, generosity and just general good personalities of all of the cast and crew, as well as our cinema partners,” said Horton.

“In true Roger Corman style, we hit the road with A Hard Place, traveling with the film to theaters and drive-ins across the country. It’s been a complete joy to see the movie with multiple audiences, which is something a lot of independent movies don’t get the opportunity to do.”
