Late A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Last House on the Left and Scream director Wes Craven was responsible for some of the most iconic movies, characters and moments in horror cinema, but he was also behind his share of duds, and one of 'em is getting a (very) loose remake.
Craven didn't actually direct 2006's The Breed, but he was a producer on the film, and recruited his A New Nightmare assistant director Nick Mastandrea to helm.
The original movie focused on two brothers and their friends who travel to an island cabin they inherited from their recently deceased uncle for a relaxing weekend getaway. The group is then besieged by genetically enhanced dogs bred to kill via an abandoned training facility on the Island.
We got word last year that filmmaker brothers Nathan and Griff Furst were set to direct a remake with Grace Caroline Currey, Virginia Gardner and Hayden Panettiere in the lead roles, and the first red-band trailer for A Breed Apart is now online.
Okay, so the movie clearly isn't taking itself even moderately seriously, but after watching the teaser for this microbudget horror comedy, one has to wonder how and why three relatively accomplished actresses were persuaded to sign on. I mean, this looks bad.
Check out the trailer for yourselves below along with a poster, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
Currey and Gardener recently played the leads in Lionsgate’s adventure thriller, Fall, directed by Scott Mann, which follows two daredevil climbers, Becky (Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), who decide to scale the B67 TV tower - before getting stuck right at the top. Currey also played Mary Marvel/Mary Bromfield in superhero sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but is unlikely to reprise the role after the advent of the new DCU.
A hilariously harrowing tale of terror. When Violet (Grace Caroline Currey) accepts an invite to a private island with some of the world’s most famous social influencers, she expects a weekend of unrivaled viral opportunity. She soon becomes part of her own horrific reality show when the guests are pitted against each other to capture the island's legendary man-eating dogs before they become victims of the monstrous canines.
The movie also stars Riele Downs, Zak Steiner, Page Kennedy, Joey Bragg, and Troy Gentile. Lionsgate will release A Breed Apart in select US theaters + on VOD starting May 16th, 2025.
