Post Apocalyptic Creature Feature 'ARCADIAN' Stars Nicolas Cage And Will Be Hitting Theaters In April

Who likes post apocalyptic films more than us here at MacabreDaily? Nobody, that’s who and boy do we have a new one just for you with the film ‘ARCADIAN.’

The film is already making waves before its release at SXSW this year and has been acquired by RLJE Films for an April 12th theatrical release starring Nicolas Cage.

It’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later in the year.

In Arcadian, which was shot in Ireland, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.” Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star.

Deadline provides a longer plot synopsis:

“Arcadian takes place in a near future, where normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.”

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven). Producers include David Wulf, Braxton Pope, Nicolas Cage, Mike Nilon, Arianne Fraser, Delphine Perrier.

RLJE’s Mark Ward hypes, “Michael Nilon’s script deftly balances between the riveting thrills of a creature feature and the hopeful heart at the core of Paul’s family, played to perfection by Cage, Martel, and Jenkins.”

Once this film hits SXSW, we’re sure to get some more info on it and bring it to ya’ll as usual.
