The latest offering from the Scottish studio is a
demon-themed anthology featuring 13 shorts produced especially for the project
by up-and-coming directors from around the world. For We Are Many is
the first of several anthology features in the works at Hex, and seeks to
showcase the best of new and emerging talent in the genre.
The film stars a host of horror icons including Eileen Dietz (The Exorcist),
Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser), and Laurence R. Harvey (The Human
Centipede II). Each segment tells the terrifying story of a particular
demonic entity, from a devastatingly sensual succubus, to a Native-American
demon that drives its victims to cannibalism, and many more, ranging from the
biblical to the Lovecraftian.
Following an open pitching process, the producers at Hex worked closely with
the filmmakers to ensure that each short would feature unique and iconic
creatures, bold, original stories and (literally) eye-popping practical
effects.
According to producer Lawrie Brewster of Hex, “A big part of our mission at Hex
Studios has always been to provide a platform for, and shine a light on
emerging talent. Working with so many supremely talented filmmakers to
produce For We Are Many has been a fantastic experience, and
we’re all so proud of the film we’ve created together. We’re already planning
two further anthologies for next year which we’ll be announcing soon, and which
will, again, be open to all to submit pitches.”
After two years of production, For We Are Many is now almost
complete, and set to première at London’s legendary FrightFest. To support the
release of the film, the producers have launched a Kickstarter campaign, where
backers can pre-order copies of the film as well as Hex Studios’ previous
titles, books, T-shirts and exclusive plush toys of their infamous villain the
Owlman.
