The slasher movie Founders Day, starring Amy Hargreaves and Devin Druid, is set to receive a digital release in May

It was last November when we heard that production had wrapped on director Erik Bloomquist‘s slasher movie Founders Day, and while the film still doesn’t have a release date, we do know when it’s going to have its world premiere: at 6pm on August 18th at the Popcorn Frights festival in Florida. With the premiere a few weeks away, a teaser poster for Founders Day has made its way online, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Written by Erik Bloomquist and Carson Bloomquist, Founders Day is a contemporary murder mystery set in the midst of a heated mayoral election on the eve of a quaint New England town’s tricentennial.

The Bloomquist brothers produced the film for Mainframe Pictures, alongside Adam Weppler. Hargreaves co-produced with William Russ. William Kay serves as executive producer with Blue Finch Films’ Mike Chapman and Fatima Hayward.

The film stars Amy Hargreaves (Brainscan), Devin Druid (13 Reasons Why), Emilia McCarthy (SkyMed), Catherine Curtin (Stranger Things), William Russ (Boy Meets World), Naomi Grace (NCIS), Olivia Nikkanen (The Society), Jayce Bartok (When They See Us), Andrew Stewart Jones (Gotham), Tyler James White (The Villains of Valley View), Erik Bloomquist (Weekenders), Adam Weppler (Long Lost), Kate Edmonds (The Third Saturday in October), Dylan Slade (Katelyn), and Arun Cameron Storrs (Ninja Zombies).

The Bloomquists provided the following statement: “With whodunnit slashers serving as our entry point into the genre, we are elated to bring our own mischief-laden, blood-soaked mystery to life. Founders Day is a slasher for the world we are living in right now, and we can’t wait for the speculation on who’s behind the mask to begin…“

I’m always on the look-out for a new slasher movie to watch, I have been a fan of Amy Hargreaves since watching Brainscan in the ’90s and I enjoyed Kate Edmonds’ performance in The Third Saturday in October, so I will definitely be watching Founders Day.
