The film, highly-anticipated by fans of the horror genre, boasts a star-studded cast that includes genre icons Tony Todd (Candyman), Sean Young (Blade Runner), and four-time Jason Voorhees, Kane Hodder, alongside Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), Vladimir Kulich (Vikings), Sab Shimono (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III), Ivana Rojas (Hulu’s This Fool), and longtime Gyeney collaborator Scott Brown as the villainous ‘Fedora Man.’ 

“The Activated Man embarked on its festival run almost one year ago,” comments Gyeney. “We’re so excited to be able to share our special film with audiences throughout North America this December. Not only will our film appeal to fans of horror and the paranormal, we believe it also will resonate with those dealing with loss and grief through spirituality.”

Drawing on the universal theme of grief with a twist that Gyeney’s work has become noted for, The Activated Man stars Jamie Costa as an everyman who loses his beloved dog, Louis. His grief spurs disturbing visions that cause him to wonder if he’s dealing with the usual highs and lows of a painful loss, or if darker forces are preying on his mind.

To celebrate the upcoming release, Gyeney has unveiled 2 innovative “dueling posters” and launched two companion trailers for film fans, one featuring the frightening “Fedora Man” and one the spirit of Louis,to highlight the film’s running theme of darkness vs light.

“The new official posters and companion trailers highlight the film’s theme of light vs. dark and positive vs. negative energy, with the dueling taglines – ‘Embrace the Darkness’ on the blue poster variant, and ‘Protect Yourself With Light’ on the gold variant,” comments Gyeney.
