Rue Morgue: Exclusive New “THE RANGER” Poster Gives You More To Reflect On
The murderously obsessive title character of Jenn Wexler’s THE RANGER has his eye on a group of young punks who trespass in his woods, as seen in a new foreign sales poster. We’ve got the exclusive first look.
The poster comes from Octane Entertainment, which has picked up select worldwide sales rights to THE RANGER and will rep it at this month’s Cannes Film Festival. “THE RANGER is a fun and wild ride of punk-rock-infused horror that fits perfectly within our brand,” says Octane’s Jack Campbell. “We’re excited to be working with this team of professionals and can’t wait to introduce the film to our buyers in Cannes.” Adds Wexler, who directed the film and scripted it with Giaco Furino, “It’s been a thrill to share the film with festival audiences around the country. We’re so excited to team up with Octane to introduce THE RANGER to the world.”

Screen Daily: Octane Entertainment to take SXSW slasher ‘The Ranger’ to Cannes
Andrew van den Houten, horror veteran Larry Fessenden, Ashleigh Snead, Heather Buckley and Jenn Wexler produced the story of teen punks on the run from the law who face off against an unhinged park ranger.
Chloë Levine (The Transfiguration), Jeremy Holm (Mr. Robot), Granit Lahu, Jeremy Pope, Bubba Weiler, and Amanda Grace Benitez (School Of Rock) star in the SXSW Midnighters selection. First-timer Wexler directed from a screenplay she co-wrote with Giaco Furino.
“It’s been a thrill to share the film with festival audiences around the country,” Wexler said. “We’re so excited to team up with Octane to introduce The Ranger to the world.”
Fessenden added: “It has been gratifying to see Wexler move from being a fierce advocate for other directors’ visions through her stint producing movies at Glass Eye Pix, to taking on the challenge of getting her own unique vision on screen with The Ranger. I am so proud to see her continue the mission of pushing the boundaries and expectations of genre filmmaking, and this was the perfect collaboration for Glass Eye Pix and Hood River.”
“I’m thrilled to have produced The Ranger with such an amazingly talented team of artists,” van den Houten said. “It was a thrill working with fearless, freshman director Jenn Wexler and cannot wait for adoring horror fans all over the world to witness her entertaining and groundbreaking perspective of the punk rock slasher.”
“The Ranger is a fun and wild ride of punk rock infused horror that fits perfectly within our brand,” Octane Entertainment’s Jack Campbell added. “We’re excited to be working with this team of professionals and can’t wait to introduce the film to our buyers in Cannes.”
Campbell brokered the deal with 79th & Broadway Entertainment’s van den Houten on behalf of the production companies.

GEP pal Graham Reznick talks “A Quiet Place” with Hollywood Reporter!
From Simon Abrams: I’m pretty thrilled that we’re having this conversation, Graham, mostly because I’ve been a big fan of your work as a sound designer on indie horror films like Automatons and The Roost, two Glass Eye Pix-produced movies that both gave me one of my favorite post-film reactions: Who’s responsible for ____? I have to know more! Even more thrilling: I wanted to know more about sound design, a field of work that I knew — and probably still know — next to nothing about. Your work made me pay closer attention to what both of those films were doing on a completely different level than what I was used to. I started thinking about horror movies in terms of sound and how their sense of atmosphere was developed through the layering of noises on a soundtrack. Basic stuff for you, but something that I know I — and probably some of our readers — often take for granted since we often think of movies as a primarily visual medium.
