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.

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.

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!

The Cabin, scripted by Erik Kammerland and produced by Alec Trachtenberg of Coast ART Productions and KW Studios, takes you to the rural backwater of the Swedish summer, and on a ride you will never forget.
Available on VOD/DVD December 4 from High Octane Pictures.
