Homeownership isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in the new teaser trailer for the action-horror-comedy Hold the Fort, which will premiere later this month at the Fantasia International Film Festival.

Per the official synopsis on the film’s Kickstarter page: “After moving to the suburbs, a young couple finds themselves trapped in an epic battle between their new homeowners association and an onslaught of monsters from hell!

“Lucas and Jenny are getting settled in their new home when Jerry Klein, the HOA president, knocks on their door. He invites them to the neighbourhood’s annual “Equinox Party.” Jenny is reluctant but Lucas, ready to embrace suburban life, excitedly accepts. But this is no ordinary party…A banner hangs at the clubhouse’s entrance: Welcome to the Equinox. Please don’t die.

“There are talks of a portal to hell, dangerous mythical creatures, copious amounts of moonshine, and a legendary gun-wielding hero, McScruffy. Lucas, thinking this is all a joke, hesitantly mingles with the other party guests when the inevitable happens…

“The portal to hell opens… And the first monsters attack.”

The horror-comedy hails from writer-director William Bagley, based on a story by Scott Hawkins. Chris Mayers, Haley Leary, and Julian Smith star.

Beyond its debut at Fantasia on July 16th, Hold the Fort does not yet have a release date. Watch the teaser below:
