Director Joe Lo Truglio’s horror film Outpost will be reaching the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand in September
After doing a lot of work in the comedy genre – Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The State, Viva Variety, Upright Citizens Brigade, Wet Hot American Summer, Reno 911!, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Paul, Role Models, Wanderlust, I Love You, Man… the list is long – Joe Lo Truglio has decided to make his feature directorial debut with a horror film called Outpost. Gravitas Ventures gave the film a theatrical and VOD release in the US back in May (you can find it on Amazon at THIS LINK), and now Lightbulb Film Distribution has announced that they’ll be bringing Outpost to the UK and Ireland on September 11th with a digital and VOD release. The movie will then be given the same sort of release in Australia and New Zealand on September 13th.
Also scripted by Lo Truglio, Outpost has the following synopsis: After a violent assault, a woman asks her best friend for help escaping an abusive ex. She is given a job in the mountains of north Idaho as a fire watcher, hoping that the peace and solitude will help her heal from the trauma. Dallas Roberts (
The Walkiing Dead) stars in the film along with Beth Dover (Bluebloods). Anderson (The Ward).Speaking with the Spokesman-Review, Lo Truglio said he wanted to make a horror movie because “There is nothing like getting a laugh or a scream. Both make you happy. Since I was 13, I’ve loved horror. I was into horror long before I became interested in comedy. Horror sparked my interest in film and filmmaking. This film has been in production for 37 years. I had to make Outpost.“He was so determined to make Outpost, he even financed the movie himself. As a horror fan who has also been a longtime fan of Lo Truglio’s comedy work, I will definitely be watching Outpost at some point… And the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand distribution news has reminded me that I need to go ahead and check it out already. Lo Truglio said this about the Lightbulb deal: “
Growing in the 70s/80s, my love of horror began very young and I can’t waiting for a worldwide audience to see this film. Making Outpost was a 13 year-old’s dream. We’re thrilled to be working with Lightbulb, who share the same passion for the genre.“Lightbulb’s Peter Thompson added: “
We are delighted to be bringing Outpost to audiences in the UK, Ireland, Australia & New Zealand. Joe Lo Truglio, a talented comedian, is also a director and writer. This suspenseful revenge thriller shows off his talents. Anchored by Beth Dover’s lead performance and captured by cinematographer Frank Barrera,
Outpost reminds us that trauma is frightening but survival is thrilling.“
