A bizarre new crime/horror/fantasy thriller from the creators and stars of the cult-fave zombie film PONTYPOOL is coming next month, and the new trailer and poster can now be seen past the jump.

DREAMLAND, directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess and Patrick Whistler, will arrive in select theaters and on VOD/digital June 5 from Uncork’d Entertainment. PONTYPOOL’s Stephen McHattie and Lisa Houle reunite on screen here, joined by Henry Rollins (HE NEVER DIES), Juliette Lewis and Tomas Lemarquis (ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY, X-MEN: APOCALYPSE). The synopsis: “On the night of the strangest weddings in cinema history, a grotesque gang boss hires a stone cold killer to bring him the finger of a fading, drug-addicted jazz legend.”
