A cool trailer has dropped that appears to be set in the same woods that corrupted the unsuspecting characters in The Evil Dead. Okay, maybe not the exact same woods, but the upcoming film Hostage has a guy in a cabin struggling for survival against a malevolent spirit. Off to a good start, I say!
Created by screenwriter/director Michael J. Yurinko (Fading), Hostage is currently filming in the Poconos, Pa with a release scheduled for later this year. It's the story of a man battling his personal demons while snowbound inside his home. Kinda like The Shining, but on a smaller scale. Holt Boggs (The Prodigy) stars with George Katt (Valley of Angels). Additional filming will occur in Scranton and Bangor, Pa as well as Los Angeles, CA.

California-based Bat Pig Pictures has sent us the trailer and details for its latest project, Hostage.
The horror film is currently in production in the Poconos, Pennsylvania. The poster is included above and the trailer can be viewed below.
Producer and actor Robert Gordon Spencer (Deadtime Stories) challenged screenwriter and director Michael J. Yurinko (Fading), a Pennsylvania resident, to create a horror screenplay that was "sharp, unique and budget-minded."
The result was Hostage, a story about a man dealing with his personal demons while snowbound inside his home. Inspired by real-life reports of paranormal events, the film stars actor Holt Boggs (pictured below), best known for his leading role in action-suspense film The Prodigy.
The cast also includes actor George Katt (right), winner of 2008's Best Breakthrough Actor for his performance in the independent feature Valley of Angels opposite Danny Trejo at the New York International Independent Film Festival. Katt...

Producer: Robert Gordon Spencer.
Director/writer: Mike Yurinko.
Cast: Holt Boggs (left).
Actor turned producer Robert Gordon Spencer (Deadtime Stories, "Law & Order") is testing his chops in the making of Hostage, a thriller about a man, Eugene (Holt Boggs, "The Prodigy"), trapped in his vacation cabin. He's snowbound and the winter landscape hints at more than just him going up against Mother Nature. He soon discovers that he is not alone.
The mystery on what that terror is will be the draw. Spencer believes this movie will not be a typical horror genre film. "We have our twists," teases Spencer, "The script depends on the shock, thrill and drama of the reason on why Eugene is trapped."
Shooting is slated to start December so accurate outdoorsy set pieces are used. With another name like Michael J. Yurinko (Fading) to direct and write this independent film, Hostage will depend on more...

Facing a probable suspension from the department, Riley is teamed with a young homicide detective, Will Ganz (Kevin Phillips, Notorious), to help solve a series of brutal murders that have plunged the city into a major gang war.
