Well Go USA is roaring to unleash Mike Hermosa‘s (Dying to Sleep) horror comedy The Invisible Raptor following all the buzz the film generated since its world premiere at the prestigious Sitges Film Festival last year.
Directed by Hermosa, the The Invisible Raptor stars an ensemble cast of Mike Capes (“For the Win”), David Shackelford (“True Detective”), Caitlin McHugh Stamos (“The Vampire Diaries”), Sandy Martin (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), Vanessa Chester (The Lost World: Jurassic Park) and Sean Astin (The Goonies).
The Invisible Raptor takes you on a wild ride through a disaster waiting to happen. After a top-secret experiment goes spectacularly wrong, the story—written by lead actor Capes and co-writer Johnny Wickham—reveals how The Tyler Corporation managed to genetically engineer a prehistoric raptor and, for some reason, made it invisible.
But this invisible raptor isn’t just a one trick dino — it’s also incredibly smart. After a covert escape from its enclosure, it’s up to washed-up paleontologist Dr. Grant Walker (Capes) and bumbling security guard Denny Danielson (Shackelford) to stop the invisible terror before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting community of Spielburgh County.
Teaming up with local chicken farmer Henrietta McCluckskey (Martin) and Grant’s ex, Amber (McHugh), they work together to uncover the truth about this mysterious, and oddly elusive, apex predator. It’s chaos, it’s comedy, all of which you’ll never see coming.
Mark your calendars: The Invisible Raptor is slated to hit theaters and digital platforms on December 6, 2024 and to celebrate the imminent release, CinemaChords sat down with the film’s key creative team – Capes, Hermosa, and Wickham – to discuss their approach to crafting an invisible raptor that feels tangibly present on screen and how they addressed crafting a hilarious homage, packed to the rafters with ingenious Easter eggs, all while navigating a fine line to ensure the film never fell into schlocky parody pitfalls.
