Horror isn’t going anywhere; it’ll be a staple of movies for years to come. Mixing horror and comedy is the same, but at least there’s a good laugh, like in Hold the Fort, check the trailer.
I found myself giggling during that; it could be a laugh. Hold the Fort stars Chris Mayers, Levi Burdick, Julian Smith, Haley Leary, Mark Ashworth, and Tordy Clark. William Bagley directs and writes alongside Scott Hawkins. The story:
After moving to the suburbs, a young couple finds themselves trapped in an epic battle between their new HOA and an onslaught of monsters from hell.
I don’t know what’s worse, dealing with monsters or the HOA? Aren’t they the same thing? The rest is from the press release.
The film made its world premiere at the 2025 Fantasia Film Festival, where it delighted audiences with spurting, splashing gore and a nonstop parade of practically created creatures and zombies. The film went on to screen at FrightFest London, Sitges, Beyond Fest, Toronto After Dark, and more. The cast is led by Ozark’s Chris Mayers, Haley Leary and social media comedian Julian Smith.
Hold the Fort is currently sitting at 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The Blogging Banshee raved that “Hold the Fort has everything horror fans could want – laughs, gore, and a monstrous HOA party” and Nightmare on Film Street called the debut feature “a 70-minute parade of head explosions, monster mayhem, and laugh-out-loud gags”.
Hold the Fort will be on digital on 23rd June. I’ve asked for a screener, so I’ll review.
