Woman has one hour to survive in first look at horror thriller Hellcat

Blue Finch Film Releasing has announced that Hellcat, a claustrophobic horror thriller that debuted on the genre festival circuit, will arrive on digital platforms in the UK and Ireland on 14^th August.

Directed by Brock Brodell, the film follows Lena (Dakota Gorman), who wakes inside a moving camper trailer with a gruesome wound and no idea how she got there. The trailer’s unseen driver gives her an impossible ultimatum: reach a doctor within an hour or face a horrifying transformation. As the countdown begins, Lena’s grip on reality starts to fracture, leaving her to question whether the person trying to save her is actually the one she should fear.

Joining Gorman are Todd Terry (Breaking Bad), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and Saturday Night Live cast member James Austin Johnson.

Hellcat premiered at Fantasia International Film Festival before playing FrightFest and Beyond Fest, building a reputation among genre audiences for its tense, single-location premise. The film blends psychological horror with a race-against-time survival story as its central mystery gradually unfolds.
