"I feel like I'm dropping you off in prison," Will tells his blind father Ambrose as he helps him move into his new home at the Crescent Bay retirement community. The house's interior is sparse when they arrive, though Ambrose finds a disturbing remnant in his wall that foreshadows horrors to come in Adriån Garcîa Bogliano’s Late Phases, and we have a handful of clips from the film.

“Crescent Bay is not the ideal place to spend one’s golden years, especially since the once-idyllic retirement community has been beset by a series of deadly animal attacks from the ominous forest surrounding it. When grizzled war veteran Ambrose McKinley (Nick Damici) is forced into moving there by his yuppie son Will (Ethan Embry), the residents immediately take offense to Ambrose’s abrasive personality. But that take-no-prisoners attitude may be just what Ambrose needs to survive as it becomes clear that the attacks are being caused by creatures that are neither animal nor man, and that the tight-knit community of Crescent Bay is hiding something truly sinister in its midst…

Following the release of his HERE COMES THE DEVIL, as well as his scene-stealing segment “B IS FOR BIGFOOT” in the horror anthology THE ABCS OF DEATH, Adriån Garcîa Bogliano cements his status as one of the top horror filmmakers coming out of Spain with LATE PHASES. In a bookend of sorts to his performance in the cult hit STAKE LAND, Nick Damici commands the screen here, coming on the heels of last year’s Sundance vigilante thriller COLD IN JULY and the critically acclaimed cannibal drama, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE.”

Directed by Adriån Garcîa Bogliano’s and written by Eric Stolze, Late Phases stars Nick Damici, Ethan Embry, Lance Guest, Erin Cummings, Rutanya Alda, Tina Louise, Caitlin O’Heaney, Karen Lynn Gorney, Dana Ashbrook, and Tom Noonan. Late Phases comes out in select theaters and on VOD on November 21st.
