Alec Trachtenberg wanted to produce a movie that had Swedish and American talent involved. The result? THE CABIN, an international co-production filmed in Sweden, with two American leads. Daily Grindhouse is happy to present this conversation with Alec Trachtenberg about the making of the movie.

FINAL ANALYSIS: A nicely acted flick with some gutsy horror. (3 out of 5 Stars)

New York-born Alec Trachtenberg made his producing [VIDEO] debut on the short film "Too Far From Home," which premiered in 2013. He has since produced Alien Invaders and Maid for Murder under his banner, Coast Art Productions. The company’s latest release is "The Cabin," a frightening U.S/Swedish co-production that makes its North American VOD premiere [VIDEO] in December of 2018.

Alec discussed this film and about his production company Coast ART Productions in more detail via an exclusive interview on November 20, 2018.

If you are a fan of thrillers, slashers, or any combination thereof, then you need to give The Cabin a look-see; it’s bleak, dark, and well-made…and that deserves you slappin’ your putrid peepers on it post-haste!

Relationships take a lot of work, especially when you’re in a long term partnership. Sometimes it’s all hugs and kisses, and other times it’s running from a grandpa masked, ax wielding madman in a secluded cabin. That’s basically Harry and Rose’s story. They decide to go on a retreat to Harry’s family cabin, both to revisit previous memories and to try and rekindle their dying relationship. It turns out someone else has decided to adventure to the property that weekend, and once he’s caught, he makes it crimson clear that he doesn’t want to be arrested for murder. Now, Harry and Rosey’s vacation becomes a cat and mouse game of survival as they try to escape a cunning psychopath with a personal vendetta. How’s that for outside interference? Written by Erik Kammerland, The Cabin stars Christopher Lee Page, Caitlin Crommett, Thomas Hedengran and Erik Kammerland.

Round two we check out the remake of a 90’s film that seems to be getting widely ignored, FLATLINERS. Is the cold shoulder treatment justified, or are we all sleeping on an entertaining movie? The elusive round 3 is here and this week we talk to Johan Bodell, the director of A NIGHT IN THE CABIN. Not only does he give us the scoop on his upcoming film, but he also drops some helpful tips for budding filmmakers. We end the episode with an old favortie, BULLSHIT ARTIST. Which of us is the best at being deceitful? All of that and so much more in episode 131 of The Modern Horrors Podcast!

Under Spökveckan ges en förhandsvisning av skräckthrillern “A Night in the Cabin”, en svensk-amerikansk samproduktion. Bakom filmen står örebrobördige filmaren Erik Kammerland som skrivit manus och skådespelar.

A night away from the city seems like the right idea when Harry (Christopher Lee Page) and Rose (Caitlin Crommett) drive to a cabin in the woods. Unaware of an event that has occurred, their night of peace turns into a fight for their lives as a masked man is interested in taking it.

The slasher genre is one that might very well be poised for a comeback. With the right kind of entry, we could see a resurgence in horror that is gory, violent, and packed with high body counts. While I’m all for horror that is psychological and cerebral, sometimes I’m simply all for watching people get slaughtered. 

Det är ganska ovanligt med svenska skräckfilmer men i år hoppas regissören Johan Bodell få premiär för sin A Night In The Cabin, en film som beskrivs som en klassisk rysare, filmad i svensk miljö.

Who doesn’t love a bit of Scandinavian horror, eh? Our friends over in Sweden recently shot a movie called A Night in the Cabin, and are looking for a little help on Kickstarter to get the film out into the world.

A Night in the Cabin is produced by Coast ART Productions, directed by Johan Bodell, and stars Caitlin Crommett, Chris Page and Thomas Hedengran.

I Henninge kommer det utspela sig hemska saker framöver. Byn har nämligen blivit skådeplats för kommande skräckfilmen A night in the cabin. – Omgivningarna här är perfekta, säger den amerikanska producenten Alec Trachtenberg.

Just nu spelas det in en amerikansk skräckfilm i skogarna utanför Holmsveden. Filmens regissör är däremot en lokal förmåga i form av Kilafors-bördige Johan Bodell & Coast ART Productions.
