Voltage Pictures Adds Screamfest Horror Thriller ‘Pitfall’ Starring ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Actor Richard Harmon To AFM Slate

EXCLUSIVE: Voltage Pictures has added the horror thriller Pitfall from director James Kondelik (Dam Sharks), starring Richard Harmon (Final Destination: Bloodlines), to its American Film Market slate.

The film, based on a story by Kondelik and a screenplay by Canadian writer Victor Rose, made its debut at Los Angeles’ Screamfest Film Festival in October. The film was produced by Wai Sun Cheng and Alex Bogolomov for Vancouver-based production Pandapix Pictures in partnership with Dragon Bear Pictures.

Alongside Harmon, the film stars Alexandra Essoe (The Pope’s Exorcist), UFC champion Randy Couture (The Expendables), and Marshall Williams (The Ice Road). The cast is rounded out by Canadian actors Jordan Claire Robbins (The Umbrella Academy) and Matt Hamilton (Murder for Sale).

The synopsis reads: In Pitfall, a young man becomes separated from his friends in the woods and plunges into a ten-foot pit lined with spikes, impaling his leg and leaving him helpless. As reality sinks in and his situation grows dire, he realizes the fall wasn’t an accident.

Voltage Pictures acquired the title as part of its deal with The Exchange, after acquiring a controlling interest in the international sales and finance company.

“I’ve always loved the slasher genre, but with Pitfall, our goal was to evolve it, to make something brutal yet emotionally grounded,” said Pandapix founder Wai Sun Cheng. “You come for the kills, but you stay for the characters and the mystery behind the killer’s origin. It’s raw, cinematic, and deeply human.”
