To Die Alone is a Fear Much Worse Then Facing an Unknown Future

When the future of humanity is uncertain, to Die Alone is much worse since that thought must have crossed the minds of many during the COVID-19 pandemic. When humans are social animals, we can’t just simply isolate ourselves from the world at large.

Die Alone Movie PosterLowell Dean is really knocking it out of the park with two releases this year. His latest, Die Alone, concerns how to go on with life when that soulmate goes missing. In what Dark Match (movie review) offered was a look at trust amongst teammates in a literal fight against one another to the death in order to summon a demon. Both movies play on what’s most important, relationships, and add in the terror later.

Ultimately, it’s more of a survival drama seen through Ethan (Douglas Smith)’s eyes. He doesn’t know what’s going on because, during part of the narrative, he’s questioning why he can’t leave the farm. As a person who has moments of memory loss, that can be dangerous. He wants to be reunited with his wife, Emma (Kimberly-Sue Murray), but Mae (Carrie-Anne Moss) is keeping him close, and he’s not comfortable with that.

To be a wrestler is tough. Quite often, not everyone will find the success they crave. Whether that’s with fame or making a living at it, that’ll depend on the individual. And when we’re dealing with an ominously titled movie like Dark Match, just what the hero(es) has to face may well be their own demons!

When Lowell Dean‘s name is on the billing, hopefully the name recognition will sell this film. And what this creator of Wolfcop has created has classic supernatural spin wrapped around a classic 80s style sports-action film. I call this Bloodsport meets Friday the 13th meets Fight Club.

Here, Miss Behave (Ayisha Issa) is hardly satisfied with her life. She’s one member of a group of small-time wrestlers who hope that one day, some media mogul offers them a deal of a lifetime. Unfortunately, when they are asked to bring their travelling show to a backwater town, they are none the wiser. They don’t realise the ring-leader they’re dealing with was a former wrestler himself, and that he fell from grace a long time ago. Only Mean Joe Lean (Steven Ogg) knows something about his past!

Fans of horror can howl at the moon to help bring Wolfcop to theatres. For now, it’s set to make its presence at Fan Expo Vancouver, April 18th to 20th, with sneak previews from parts of the movie. Director Lowell Dean (13 Eerie), Makeup FX artist Emersen Ziffle (Curse of Chucky) and Wolfcop actor Leo Fafard (Hungry Hills, I ♥ Regina) will be on site to answer any burning questions fans may have for this film, and to strike a few poses in between! This will also be the first chance for fans to purchase the golden ticket – a guaranteed seat to see this film when it makes its theatrical premiere, which is still to be determined.

Special “transformations” (a panel discussion) will take place April 18 6pm -7pm; April 19 1-2PM and April 20 1-2 pm during this show. This wolf will trot on over to Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo and Fan Expo Regina next before it hits select theatres in Canada on June 6, 2014.

An Indiegogo campaign will then follow to help build awareness for this film as it makes its globe-trotting debut at film festivals in the coming months.

Details are still forthcoming for US distribution. But interest has been high and it should get a distributor in May!
