Unknown Company: A WWII Horror-Thriller

Get ready for a wild ride that mixes historical grit with supernatural chills! Ross Marquand—who we all know and love as Aaron from “The Walking Dead”—is officially starring in a brand-new WWII horror-thriller called Unknown Company, and Deadline just gave us a first look at some intense new images.

Soldiers vs. The Supernatural

Set during the final, chaotic days of World War II, Unknown Company follows a small unit of American soldiers sent deep behind enemy lines. Their mission? Find the wreckage of an unidentified object (cue the sci-fi/horror vibes!).

But this isn’t just a simple search-and-rescue. The mission quickly spirals into a psychological nightmare, forcing the squad to face their own fears and loyalties as they confront something genuinely out of this world. This concept not only taps into the horror genre but also examines the psychological toll that war can take, pushing soldiers to their limits.

A Cast of Nerd-Culture Royalty

Ross Marquand isn’t the only familiar face in the trenches. He’s joined by Nolan North (Uncharted), Hugh Scott (Deadpool), and Zak Steiner (Euphoria). Mace Coronel (That ’90s Show) and Sarah Hay (Flesh and Bone) round out the cast.

This ensemble brings a wealth of acting talent and fan-favorite characters from various beloved franchises, setting high expectations for their performances. From their diverse backgrounds, the chemistry among the cast is likely to add depth to the character dynamics.

The Vibe: Grounded Terror

Director Vincent Talenti isn’t just looking for jump scares. He emphasizes that the film is really about “what it means to be human in the face of the inexplicable.” By mixing the brutal reality of war with supernatural elements, the film aims to keep the stakes feeling honest and emotional.

The script, penned by Gavin Hignight—known for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—suggests we can expect excellent character interactions and engaging dialogues. This adds a layer of depth to the story that may resonate with audiences long after the credits roll.

Current Status

Great news—filming has officially wrapped! The movie is currently in post-production, which means we’re one step closer to seeing a trailer. The anticipation is building, especially for fans of the genre.

If you loved movies like Overlord or Ghosts of War, keep your eyes peeled for Unknown Company. With its unique blend of historical and supernatural elements, it’s shaping up to be a must-see!
