As part of our coverage of last year's Fantasia Film Festival, Matt Donato enjoyed Hold the Fort, saying in his review: "Sure, Hold the Fort is unserious, slapstick, and often corny as heck, but when it counts, you’ll be delighted by the violent attacks and cheesy zingers that would make Bruce Campbell grin." Now available on digital platforms, we have an exclusive clip you can watch right now!
"Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley's horror comedy Hold the Fort. Following a global festival run, Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms June 23. 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."
Synopsis: "Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride."
"Beginning June 23, audiences across North America will be able to rent or own Hold the Fort on Digital HD, including Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home."
