Incendo Marks Fifth Creative Partnership with Tubi on Upcoming Original Horror Film, Guess Who

– Montreal-shot feature from Canadian prodco is led by rising stars of horror, Keeya King (Yellowjackets) and Corteon Moore (From), with acclaimed director Amelia Moses (Bloodthirsty) at the helm –

Toronto, January 18, 2024 – Canadian producer, Incendo, is proud to announce the all-new horror film Guess Who. Commissioned by the FOX-owned streaming giant Tubi, the Montreal-shot film is the fifth produced as a part of the Incendo/Tubi content partnership.

Guess Who is written by Matt Wells (Crown & Anchor), Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (Terror Train), and is helmed by celebrated horror director Amelia Moses (Bloodthirsty). Starring Canadians Keeya King (Yellowjackets) and Corteon Moore (From), the movie flips a classic holiday tradition on its head when a masked psychotic killer hides behind the practice of ‘Mummering’ to wreak havoc on the inhabitants of a trailer park.

In Guess Who, newly engaged Kaitlyn Martindale (King) is overjoyed at the chance to meet her fiancée Michael’s (Moore) family.  The couple put aside their busy city lives and set out on a road trip to Duckworth Flats, a small, neglected, but tightknit trailer park community that thrives on the tradition of ‘Mummering,’ an event in which friends, family and neighbors go door to door in bizarre costumes and masks, performing songs, dances, and riddles in exchange for food and drink. At first, ‘Mummering’ seems like a strange, yet fun way to get to know her future in-laws and learn more about Michael’s roots, but each playful joke becomes more dangerous than the next.  It isn’t long before Kaitlyn realizes one of the masked revelers is a psychotic killer, hiding behind the ‘Mummering’ tradition and preying on victims to get to her directly.  As the festivities continue, the guessing game of ‘who’s who’ turns into one of survival as blood starts to stain the party red.

Guess Who is produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh; Executive Producers are Graham Ludlow, Shari Segal, Kaleigh Kavanagh for Incendo, and Matt Wells. The film premieres Friday, January 19, exclusively on Tubi in the U.S.

Incendo & Tubi Are Full Steam Ahead with Terror Train 2

Toronto, November 28, 2022 – Incendo and Fox Entertainment-owned streaming giant, Tubi officially announce Terror Train 2, the second film of the franchise and sequel to the modernized remake. A Tubi Original, Terror Train 2 pays homage to the original 1980 film that famously took place during a New Year’s Eve party and will premiere New Year’s Eve exclusively in the U.S. on Tubi and on Bell Media’s Crave in Canada. 
 
“Our remake reintroduced a new generation to Terror Train, and now Tubi’s first ever horror sequel expands on the premise with a completely original storyline,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer (Tubi). “This new ride aboard the Terror Train begins on New Year’s Eve with ‘Final Girl’ Alana and the mysterious Magician facing a new menace in this horror whodunit.”
 
“Horror-genre franchises have proven time and time again to be some of the most successful film brands,” added Brook Peters, Managing Director and Senior Vice-President, Sales & Production Operations & Executive Producer (Incendo). “In the sequel, we’re thrilled to offer horror fans a seamless and terrifying continuation of the story that also pays a themed-tribute to the original 1980 cult classic.”
 
In Terror Train 2, it has been over a year since a series of gruesome, vengeful murders took the lives of multiple college seniors aboard the now infamous Terror Train. Alana (Robyn Alomar) is coerced to join The Magician (Tim Rozon) and other remaining survivors on a New Year’s Eve redemption ride aboard the very same train, where a new kind of evil spawns a vengeful bloodbath and once again, the terrified passengers fight to survive.
 
Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (Slasher) return as the writing duo, as does director Philippe Gagnon (Amber Alert). Terror Train 2 is produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh; Executive Producers are Graham Ludlow, Shari Segal, and Brook Peters.   Incendo will represent global distribution and Tubi is the commissioning U.S. licensee of the film.
 
Terror Train and Terror Train 2 were the initial projects greenlit under the Incendo & Tubi content partnership, with Terror Train having premiered this past October as part of Tubi’s successful annual month-long Halloween-inspired genre celebration, “Terror on Tubi”. Original film Marry F*** Kill, and The Amityville Curse, an adaptation of Hans Holzer’s iconic novel, were also announced as horror-themed partnership projects, both of which are in various stages of production.
 
Leading up to the December 31, 2022 premiere of Terror Train 2, subscribers can still stream both the 1980 and 2022 versions of Terror Train and on Tubi in the U.S. and on Crave in Canada.

A Tubi Original, Terror Train is slated to premiere in October 2022 as part of the platform’s annual month-long Halloween-inspired genre celebration, “Terror on Tubi.”

Incendo & Tubi Announce Continued Partnership at Content Canada with Two Additional Horror Films Slated for Production in 2022. Marry F*** Kill Written by Ian Carpenter & Aaron Martin and an Adaptation of Hans Holzer’s Iconic Novel The Amityville Curse, Scripted by Dennis Heaton.

Toronto, September 13, 2022 – Incendo is thrilled to announce two additional horror films slated for production in 2022, in conjunction with FOX-owned streaming giant, Tubi as part of their continued content initiative. Driven by the success of the genre and consumer demand for themed content, the projects include Marry F* Kill, an original film written by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (Terror Train), as well as The Amityville Curse, an adaptation of Hans Holzer’s iconic novel from the successful franchise, scripted by Dennis Heaton (Motive).

Incendo is in pre-production in Montreal on the films and will also represent distribution on a global scale; Tubi is the commissioning U.S. licensee for both projects.

“We are delighted to move forward on these two projects,” said Brook Peters, Managing Director and Senior Vice-President, Sales & Production Operations & Executive Producer (Incendo). “Both films not only contribute to Incendo’s content growth and diversity strategy, but also strengthen our evolving creative partnership with Tubi.”

Marry F* Kill sees five estranged college friends reunite to attend their friend’s funeral after her shocking suicide. Scarred by a past betrayal that led to the ultimate demise of their friendship, an innocent game of Marry F* Kill spawns into something far more sinister than they could have imagined.

Led by an exceptionally talented Canadian cast, the film stars Jedidiah Goodacre (Descendants), Maxine Denis (Party of Five), Robbie Graham-Kuntz (Utopia Falls), Cynthia Jimenez-Hicks (From), Deanna Jarvis (Beauty and the Beast), and Devin Cecchetto (The Craft: Legacy). Marry F* Kill has attached multi-award nominated director Caroline Labrèche (Rule of 3) and will be produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh; Executive Producers are Graham Ludlow, Brook Peters, and Shari Segal.

Based on the book of the same name, the new adaptation of The Amityville Curse will take on a different perspective than the 1990 direct-to-video released film. With Incendo securing the underlying rights to the original novel from the estate, fans can look forward to an authentic approach to capturing the gripping story of Hans Holzer’s book.

Incendo partners for the second time with Éric Tessier (You Will Remember Me) to direct the film. Producers are Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh; Executive Producers are Graham Ludlow, Kaleigh Kavanagh, Brook Peters, and Shari Segal, as well as fellow author and Hans Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, whose contribution to the film pays tribute to continuing the authenticity and legacy of her father’s work. Casting for the film will commence in the coming months.

Incendo and Tubi initially partnered earlier this year for the collaborative remake of cult classic film Terror Train, which will premiere October 21st in the U.S. as a part of Tubi’s annual month-long Halloween inspired genre celebration, ‘Terror on Tubi’.

From classic slashers to thrills from the paranormal, Incendo’s talented production team are dedicated to bringing these original and reimagined stories to life while staying true to the core fundamentals of the genre and homage to horror fans. The company also has collection of multi-genre series and films in various stages of development for 2023 and beyond.
