The werewolf renaissance is upon us, and Bloody Disgusting has learned that yet another new werewolf horror movie is headed our way this year. This one’s titled Operation Blood Hunt.
Quiver Distribution has acquired North American rights to Operation Blood Hunt, the new World War II-era action thriller meets horror film from actor-director Louis Mandylor (3 Days in Malay, Blindsided) and writer Brandon Slagle (Arena Wars, Breakout).
Quiver will release Operation Blood Hunt on October 4. Watch the trailer below.
Operation Blood Hunt follows prolific expert of the occult and whiskey, Reverend Conte, and a ragtag group of military rejects as they venture to a remote island in the South Pacific to investigate the unexplained disappearance of several United States Marine Corps battalions stationed there in 1944. While initial intelligence suggests the culprit to be that of the Japanese Imperial Army, the group soon discovers, upon speaking with the island’s inhabitants, that the Marines may have been massacred by a group of Lycanthropes, known to most as werewolves.
Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, The Survivalist) stars alongside mixed martial artist and former professional wrestler Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (Boss Level), Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), and Sonia Couling (The War of Flowers).
The film is produced by Daemon Hillin of Hillin Entertainment (Apache Junction, Death of Me) and executive produced by Landon B. Gorman of BGG Capital.
“Operation Blood Hunt is a unique blend of World War II drama and supernatural adventure, and inspired by Daemon Hillin’s ambitious idea, I embraced the challenge of shooting this film in Thailand,” said actor and director Louis Mandylor.
He adds, “Leading a talented cast and crew is an honor, and their dedication is what brings my vision to life. I am proud of what we’ve created and excited to share it with the world.”
