First Trailer and Poster for Sci-Fi Horror THE HYPERBOREAN
First look at director Jesse Thomas Cook's sci-fi thriller.

Directed by Jesse Thomas Cook (Cult Hero; Septic Man) and written by Tony Burgess (Pontypool), The Hyperborean blends elements of sci-fi, horror and comedy in a narrative featuring alien moonshiners, an ice mummy and a triple homicide.

The film stars Ry Barrett, Liv Collins, Justin Bott, Tony Burgess, Jonathan Craig, Jess Vano, Michael Masurkevitch, Marcia Alderson, Steve Kasan, Justin Darmanin and Greg Collins.

"After 13 horror movies and having tackled zombies, creature features, cults, haunted houses, et cetera., one of the remaining subgenres I had yet to explore was the nearly forgotten mummy film," says Cook. "I was always fascinated by the disastrous 1845 Franklin Expedition, and the discovery of its preserved ice mummies. We based the creature design in The Hyperborean on one of the Franklin mummies buried at Beechey Island."

The Hyperborean is on US VOD/DVD from July 19th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

Check out the trailer and poster below.




The official synopsis reads:

From beyond the land of the ice and snow comes… THE HYPERBOREAN! When a seasoned crisis manager injects himself into a dysfunctional family, and their faltering whiskey company, he must navigate through a public relations nightmare involving a triple homicide, an Arctic ice mummy, and a batch of intergalactic moonshine.
