Synopsis: As he hunts for answers about his daughter’s horrible death, an upstanding pastor finds a dark and twisted underworld. A high-octane original soundtrack and appearances from some of rock’s biggest musicians set the tone for this horror-thriller, which unveils a game of vengeance played by a new set of rules.
Better Noise has recruited top-tier marketing partners for the theatrical release, including Amazon, Apple, Audacy, Cumulus Media, Deezer, iHeart Radio, Live Nation, Pandora, SiriusXM, Spotify, Ticketmaster, and YouTube, who will all use an integrated marketing strategy to promote the film.
In addition, the summer tours of Motley Crüe, Asking Alexandria, Five Finger Death Punch, Nothing More, The Hu, Papa Roach, Bad Wolves, and Eva Under Fire will include marketing and exclusive content to promote the film, as well as advance ticket sales.
