Forget what you know about the Hatfields and the McCoys; the familial war between Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott is a feud fueled by suspicion, bad blood, and darkness. Today, Mubi proudly presents its gripping trailer for Bring Them Down, Christopher Andrews’ upcoming thriller.

In Bring Them Down, an Irish shepherding family battles on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, and rivalry with another farmer. Paternalism, heritage, and the generational trauma cycle through the cultural prism of Ireland, as things turn violent and grim secrets, come to light.

Christopher Andrews (Fire, Stalker, Together Again) directs Bring Them Down from a script he wrote with Jonathan Hourigan. In today’s Bring Them Down trailer, Christopher Abbott stars as Michael, a man tending to his family’s sheep business on his own. Michael’s father (Colm Meaney) is disabled, and his mother died years ago in a car accident in which Michael was the driver. The guilt of that unthinkable event haunts Michael with his every step, and the truth about what happened is scratching at the door of Michael’s mind, dying to escape. Meanwhile, Jack (Barry Keoghan), the son of a neighboring sheep herder, Gary, says he found two of Michael’s prized rams dead on their property. Still, when Michael claims to recognize the animals among Gary’s flock, a war between the two families ignites.

The Bring Them Down trailer begins innocently before descending into madness, jealousy, and hatred as lies poison the well. With tensions spiraling out of control, Michael begins to lose control, and old secrets come back to haunt him as a new darkness encroaches.

Bring Them Down is a fantastic showcase for Christopher Abbott (Wolf Man, Kraven the Hunter) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, Eternals). Both actors bring the best of their dramatic chops to this increasingly violent tale of lies laid bare. The movie holds a 93% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying the movie’s grim tone can be overwhelming, but ultimately, Christopher Andrews arrives as a filmmaker to watch.

Professional wrestler Chris Jericho plays the lead role in the wrestling-themed horror film Dark Match, which is coming to us from writer/director Lowell Dean, whose previous directing credits include 13 Eerie, Wolfcop, Another Wolfcop, and SuperGrid. The movie is set to be released through the Shudder streaming service on January 31st, and today a trailer has dropped online! You can check it out in the embed above.

Dark Match will show us what happens when a small-time wrestling company accepts a high-paying gig in a backwoods town, only to discover when they arrive that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match.

Jericho, who previously appeared in the Terrifier sequels and the Kevin Smith horror anthology KillRoy Was Here, is joined in the cast by Ayisha Issa (Transplant), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead), Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries), Michael Eklund (Wynonna Earp), and Jonathan Cherry (Final Destination 2).

A Dept. 9 Studios film, Dark Match is produced by Dept. 9 founder John MacDonald, who also receives an executive producer credit alongside Jericho. Rhonda Baker and Michael Peterson also produced the film with Don Depoe and Michael Feehan of Dept. 9. Deadline notes that Dept. 9 Studios is a 26,000 square foot production facility in Edmonton. The facility opened in 2019. The company develops and produces its own films and TV and rents the site to third parties.

About thirty years have gone by since I could be considered a wrestling fan, but a horror movie about wrestlers taking on a cult sounds like a good time to me. I’ll definitely be checking Dark Match out when it starts streaming. JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols had the chance to watch Dark Match when it screened at the Fantasia Film Festival last year and gave it a 7/10 review that can be read at THIS LINK. He also sat down for an interview with Chris Jericho that can be viewed HERE.
