This Friday, Mark H. Young’s Feral arrives in select theaters and on VOD platforms everywhere. Co-written by Young and Adam Frazier, Feral follows a group of med students (led by Scout Taylor-Compton) who get more than they bargained for when they head out to the woods for what is supposed o be a relaxing vacation, but instead becomes a waking nightmare.

Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to chat with Compton about her involvement with Feral, her experiences collaborating with her co-stars and with Young, and what initially drew her into the project. Compton also discussed how growing up around a mortuary helped shape her own horror-loving sensibilities, and her favorite scene that she’s ever done.

Look for Feral to run wild this weekend, courtesy of IFC Midnight.

When you were approached for Feral and to take on the character of Alice, what was it about her that...

A zombie by any other name would smell as sweet as “Feral,” which is to say, pretty gamy — not to mention pretty familiar, as genre fare goes. Mark H. Young’s indie feature is a competent horror thriller that ultimately doesn’t sport enough inspiration, in ideas or execution, to make for anything more than an Ok but forgettable night’s rental. It opens a limited L.A. theatrical engagement simultaneous with on-demand launch this Friday.

A sextet of mostly med school students are on a camping weekend to celebrate recent graduation. They’re all paired off: Nice guy Matt (George Finn) with equally sweet-natured Brie (Renee Olstead); her best friend Alice (Scout Taylor-Compton) with new squeeze Jules (Olivia Luccardi); and somewhat noxious alpha male Jesse (Brock Kelly), who has brought along his own new arm-candy Gina (Landry Allbright) but is clearly put out that ex-girlfriend Alice left him — for a woman,...

"You don't understand what's coming... you have no idea." IFC Midnight has released an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Feral, from horror director Mark Young. The film is about a group of students who fight to survive a weekend in the woods when they suddenly start falling prey to a horrifying virus that turns them into rabid, rampaging cannibal-zombies. The script for this film is co-written by Adam Frazier, who also writes reviews for the site. Feral stars Scout Taylor-Compton, Olivia Luccardi, Lew Temple, Renee Olstead, Brock Kelly, Landry Allbright and George Finn. This looks freaky and cool, almost like a fun mashup between Evil Dead and It Comes at Night and a few other forest horror films. Watch out. Here's the new official trailer (+ posters) for Mark Young's Feral, direct from YouTube: Your best friend has just been infected with a horrifying virus that will...

The first trailer for Feral has emerged from the darkness. From director Mark Young (Tooth and Nail, 2007), the film's script was partially developed by writer Adam Frazier. In the film, a wild animal attacks six medical students. The results are catastrophic. Also, Feral stars: Scout Taylor-Compton, Olivia Luccardi and Lew Temple. Slated for a 2017 or 2018 release, the first trailer for Feral shows a dire and bloody situation. The friends-in-the-woods storyline is familiar. Young is aware of this tried and true plot device: "I don't think there's a more hackneyed concept than kids camping in the woods." However, Young hopes to bring a new monster into the terror fold. He says of his antagonists: "a creature that is neither zombie, werewolf, or vampire, but has some of the traits of them all." These creatures clash with the film's character, in this exciting new clip! Release Date: 2017, 2018. Director: Mark Young. Writers: Mark Young and Adam Frazier.

In Universal Pictures’ Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.
