he Horror Collective has picked up worldwide rights to Fresh Meat, the Canadian horror film from writer/director Daniel Turres, with Studio Dome set to launch international sales at the Cannes Film Market.
The 2025 feature follows internet influencers who venture into an abandoned prison to create content, inadvertently unleashing a ravenous inmate. The group finds themselves trapped and fighting for survival while capturing their terrifying ordeal.
Turres directed from his own script and produced alongside Christian Turres and Executive Producers Sheila Warren and David Carruthers through Fresh Meat Films inc. The cast includes Joelle Farrow, Mika Amonsen, Tyson Wong, Hannah Galway, Jorja Cadence, Alex Sands and Douglas Vermeeren.
The film targets the social media horror subgenre that has gained traction with genre audiences. The Horror Collective continues to expand its slate of independent horror titles for theatrical and streaming release.
Recently showcased at the Blood in the Snow Film Festival, Fresh Meat took home Best Special Effects by The Butchershop FX Studio.
&Quot;This is easily our most wide-ranging program yet,” said Kelly Michael Stewart, Festival Director and Founder. &Quot;Fresh Meat is by far the most violent film we’ve ever played.&Quot;
“Fresh Meat taps into our current obsession with content creation and asks what happens when the pursuit of viral fame becomes a matter of life and death. The abandoned prison setting creates this claustrophobic nightmare where escape feels impossible.&Quot; says Daniel Turres.
&Quot;Fresh Meat fits perfectly with The Horror Collective’s mission to bring fresh voices in horror to audiences worldwide. Daniel has crafted a film that speaks to our social media age while delivering the scares genre fans expect.&Quot; says David Josh Lawrence, Acquisitions, Studio Dome.
