Neil Marshal (“The Descent,” “Hellboy”) has been set to direct and produce the horror action thriller “The Lair” at Highland Film Group. Shooting is scheduled to start next spring.
The story centers on Royal Air Force pilot Lt. Kate Sinclair on her final flight mission when her jet is shot down over one of the most dangerous rebel strongholds of Afghanistan.
She finds refuge in an abandoned underground bunker where deadly man-made creatures – half-human, half-alien and hungry for human flesh – are awakened. Sinclair barely escapes and unknowingly leads the creatures back to a U.S. army base.
Marshall dubs the project his “true return to full-blooded horror and intense genre action” in the style of his earliest films with the ai of “making something scary as hell, pulse-pounding and great fun.”
