BOGIEVILLE Gets June 2025 US & UK Release Dates: [From the Press Release] The highly anticipated southern-fried vampire road movie “Bogieville”, directed by acclaimed British filmmaker and actor Sean Cronin, has been picked up by Level 33 Entertainment for a North American release on June 3, 2025 and by Trinity Creative Partnership for a UK release perfectly timed for Friday the 13th in June, 2025, on VOD via Amazon, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, among other premium digital channels.
Level 33 is also repping international sales rights during the 2025 Cannes Film Market.
Written by screenwriter Henry P. Gravelle, “Bogieville” unfolds in a decaying American trailer park where a young couple, Ham and Jody, are enticed to stay by the unsettling caretaker, Crawford. What they don’t realize is that Crawford is the guardian of the park’s grotesque residents - a clan of feral, hillbilly vampires. The film stars Indonesian actor Arifin Putra (“The Raid 2”), Eloise Lovell Anderson (“Villain”, “The Bastard Executioner”), and Cronin himself as the lead vampire, Madison.
The ensemble also features Jonathan Hansler, Ayvianna Snow (“How to Kill Monsters”, “Wrath of Dracula”), Sarina Taylor (“Reckless”), Andrew Lee Potts (“Primeval”, “The Crown”), along with newcomers Poppie Jae Hughe and Daniel P. Lewis. Sean Cronin—best known for his villainous turns in box office hits like “James Bond: The World is Not Enough”, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” - brings his signature intensity and cinematic flair to “Bogieville”.
The film is produced by Djonny Chen for Silent D Pictures and Cronin for Magnificent Films.
Practical special effects are provided by Tequila Carter, with Steve Askey handling VFX.
Andreas Olavarria, CEO of Level 33 Entertainment, said, “Bogieville is a wild new take on the vampire genre which, although being shot in Surrey, UK, imaginatively brings to life a trailer park in the American deep south.”
Says Cronin of the film, “Here’s a little something to stir the pot - is it taboo, or just plain vampire science that our bloodsuckers can sense when it’s a woman’s time of the month? Like sharks with fangs, but with better cheekbones.”
