The Hyperborean VOD & DVD release date
The Hyperborean will hit VOD and DVD on July 19, 2024.
When a seasoned crisis manager injects himself into a dysfunctional family, and their faltering whiskey company, he must navigate through a public relations nightmare involving a triple homicide, an Arctic ice mummy, and a batch of intergalactic moonshine.
The Hyperborean was directed by Jesse Thomas Cook, written by Tony Burgess, and produced by Samuel Scott. The cast features Ry Barrett (‘Rex Cameron’), genre journeyman and star of 2024 Sundance entry In a Violent Nature, and also features Liv Collins (‘Diana Cameron’), Justin Bott (‘Mr. Denbok’), Tony Burgess (‘Hollis Cameron’), Jonathan Craig (‘Aldous Cameron’), Jess Vano (‘Lovie Madison’), Michael Masurkevitch (‘Ian Lamont’), Marcia Alderson (‘Ms. Ladouceur’), Steve Kasan (‘Mr. da Silva’), Justin Darmanin (‘Fontano’), and Greg Collins (‘The Hyperborean’).
“After 13 horror movies and having tackled zombies, creature features, cults, haunted houses, et cetera., one of the remaining subgenres I had yet to explore was the nearly forgotten mummy film. I was always fascinated by the disastrous 1845 Franklin Expedition, and the discovery of its preserved ice mummies,” said filmmaker Jesse Thomas Cook. “We based the creature design in The Hyperborean on one of the Franklin mummies buried at Beechey Island.”
The Hyperborean had its international premiere at Soho Horror Film Festival last year.
