Anchor Bay Entertainment Acquires "Cursed in Baja," a Horror Film Written, Directed, and Starring Jeff Daniel Phillips


Horror fans rejoice! The recently revived Anchor Bay Entertainment has secured the worldwide rights to "Cursed in Baja," a chilling new film from Jeff Daniel Phillips.  This intense genre-bender is slated for its world premiere at this year's FrightFest on August 23rd, 2024.

Phillips, best known for his frequent collaborations with horror maestro Rob Zombie (including the recent "Munsters" reboot), steps into the director's chair for "Cursed in Baja."  He also takes on the lead role and co-produced the screenplay.  Joining Phillips on screen are genre veterans Barbara Crampton ("You're Next") and Jose Conejo Martin ("The Tax Collector").

The film follows Pirelli, a jaded ex-lawman venturing into the wilds of Baja, Mexico.  His mission: to locate the missing heir to a vast Los Angeles fortune.  However, this seemingly straightforward task takes a terrifying turn as Pirelli is forced to confront not only the dangers of the environment but also the demons of his own past.

Anchor Bay Entertainment, a name synonymous with cult classic horror films, has found its latest gem in "Cursed in Baja."  Thomas Zambeck, co-founder of the revitalized company, expresses his enthusiasm: "We're thrilled to bring Jeff and his vision into the Anchor Bay family.  'Cursed in Baja' promises to be an intense journey, a worthy addition to the legacy of genre-defining independent horror."

With its intriguing premise, a talented cast and crew, and the backing of a legendary horror distributor, "Cursed in Baja" is poised to be a must-see for horror enthusiasts.  Mark your calendars for its premiere at FrightFest and prepare to be taken on a terrifying trip south of the border.
