Principal photography began on July 11th on location in Hungary. Highland Film Group is handling worldwide rights for the film. “We are very excited to start production on The Lair. The project received great attention from worldwide distributors when we first introduced it. Neil’s previous film, The Reckoning was a solid success in the independent world, and we know he is ready to take on another great creature feature – a genre he is beloved for. The talented ensemble cast will certainly deliver for horror-action-thriller fans too looking for a dynamic story and an edge-of-your-seat experience,” said Highland Film Group’s Arianne Fraser (CEO) and Delphine Perrier (COO).
Credits include Cinematography by Luke Bryant (The Reckoning), Casting by Jeremy Zimmermann (Dog Soldiers, Hellboy II), VFX Producer Sean Wheelan of Filmgate (Pathé’s Centurion, Summit Entertainment’s The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard), Production Design by Mónika Esztán, Costume Design by Mária Fatér (The Reckoning) and prosthetics by Bálazs Novák (Pieces of a Woman).
Marshall told Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast that The Lair will be a “full-on monster movie”!
“The Reckoning was certainly a return to horror, but I showed a degree of restraint. With the exception of one wagon wheel scene. So I wanted to come back and do a creature feature, I wanted to do some monsters, and just kind of combine elements from Dog Soldiers and Aliens and Predator and things like that.”
He added: “So it’s a full-on monster movie with action and explosions and blood and guts and everything.”
