Clever Creature Inc. is set to bring a chilling new action-horror feature to the American Film Market, with a star-studded cast and crew lining up behind it. The film, titled "For the Good of the Herd", boasts an all-star lineup led by Haley Bishop, best known for her breakout role in AMC Shudder's hit series "Host".
Bishop is set to play Zoe, a complex protagonist haunted by her past who must tap into darker instincts to survive when society collapses. The film, written and directed by Mark Pritchard, promises a thrilling ride that blends survivalist horror with psychological thriller elements.
According to Pritchard, the story explores how far people will go to survive when society breaks down, delving into the impact of malign belief structures on individuals and society as a whole. "Humans are the most terrifying monsters," he notes. "The blurring of lines around belief seems to surface our barbaric gears. Our characters dance around these lines, an uneasy interrogation which provokes personal questions about the nature of predatory forces, what you might do with power, and whether you could be trusted."
Bishop is thrilled to take on the role of Zoe, saying that she's drawn to the character's desperate attempt to shed guilt from her past. "It's a story laced with as much paranoia as it is with bone-crunching gore," Bishop adds. "And selfishly, getting to be the badass final girl, covered in blood and kicking ass, is a dream role."
Clever Creature managing partner Michaelangelo Masangkay describes the project as a bold, genre-driven filmmaking endeavor that pushes boundaries creatively and commercially. With a talented cast, including Michael Tomczyk, Kevin Sand, Giselle Gastell, Bianca Consuji, and Donovan Rodriques, the company is confident in its ability to bring this gripping story to audiences worldwide.
Principal photography is set to begin in November at various locations in the UK, with Clever Creature managing partner Masangkay joining as producer alongside Michael Galvan and Sebastien Bazile of Screen Anthology. The project promises a thrilling ride that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats, making it an exciting addition to the American Film Market.

... sounds like a whole lot of unnecessary chaos and carnage just for entertainment purposes. All that paranoia and gore can't be good for anyone's mental health 
. We should be focusing on uplifting stories that promote empathy and understanding, not glorifying the darker aspects of human nature.
but at the same time i love how theyre pushing boundaries with the story and the cast is looking solid 
im just worried about how well the pacing will hold up, theres a fine line between suspenseful and ridiculous when it comes to horror movies 
And Haley Bishop as the lead, cool! But what if she can't pull off the whole "badass final girl" vibe? Shouldn't it be a diverse cast for once? 
Also, how long does this film take to shoot and when's it coming out? Like, is it gonna be a quick thrill ride or an all-day scary movie marathon? 
. Haley Bishop seems like a cool actress, reminds me of that other girl from "Host" – you know, the one who got infected 
. Anyway, I'm hyped to see what this Clever Creature crew comes up with... hopefully it's as intense as those old Saw movies! 
We need more original horror stories like this one. Can't wait for it to start filming in November! 
I'm low-key hyped for this one! An all-star cast is always a good sign, but what really got me excited was Haley Bishop's description of the film as "bone-crunching gore". Like, let's get real, who doesn't love a good gruesome scene every now and then? 
I love how the director is pushing the boundaries of survivalist horror and psychological thrillers, it's like a wild ride of emotions and fear 
. Haley Bishop as Zoe sounds like an amazing role to play, i've seen her in "Host" and she's so talented, can't wait to see her bring this complex character to life 
. The cast is looking fire too, gotta love a good final girl story 
! i love how they're blending survivalist horror with psychological thriller elements - sounds like a wild ride 
. and the cast is insane, i'm already low-key shipping michaelangelo masangkay as producer lol
