Gunnar Hansen's Death House Finally Gets A Release Date

By Julia Bianco/

Death House is officially coming to the big screen next year. The long-awaited horror film has finally been given a release date, with the movie coming to about 100 Regal Cinemas screens across the United States beginning on Jan. 26, 2018.

The news of the release date comes just over a year after the release of the movie's first trailer, which got fans talking and earned more than 20,000 views on YouTube. It's the movie's stacked cast that has audiences excited, with the film bringing together a whole host of actors familiar to horror fans, including Barbara Crampton, Sid Haig, Adrienne Barbeau, and Michael Berryman. (Some have called the movie "the Expendables of horror.") The movie is the brainchild of the late Gunnar Hansen, the actor best known for his role as Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 

Here is the synopsis for Death House: "During an exclusive tour, a power breakdown inside a secret prison known as the Death House sends two agents fighting through a labyrinth of horrors while being pursued by a ruthless army of roaming inmates. As they fight to escape, the agents push toward the lowest depths of the facility where they learn a supernatural group of evil beings are their only chance for survival." (via Rotten Tomatoes)

Cody Longo, Cortney Palm, Lindsay Hartley, Kane Hodder, Lloyd Kaufman, Camille Keaton, R.A. Mihailoff, Bill Moseley, Bill Oberst, Jr., Felissa Rose, Richard Speight, Jr., Tony Todd, Dee Wallace, Vincent M. Ward, and Vernon Wells also star in Death House, which is directed by Camp Dread's B. Harrison Smith based on a script from Smith and Hansen.
