\n\tFilm distributor Uncork\u2019d Entertainment has acquired North American rights to horror film \u201cThe Hermit,\u201d starring Lou Ferrigno<\/a> as a cannibalistic pig farmer in his first role playing a creature since CBS TV series \u201cThe Incredible Hulk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the horror film, which has an undercurrent of quirky irony, Ferrigno makes and sells jerky made of human flesh.<\/p>\n

\n\tUncork\u2019d is planning to release \u201cThe Hermit\u201d theatrically in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tBesides Ferrigno, \u201cThe Hermit\u201d also stars Malina Weissman (\u201cA Series of Unfortunate Events\u201d) who will soon be seen in Disney\u2019s \u201cCoven Academy.\u201d The film is directed by U.S.-based Italian director Salvatore Sclafani and produced by Gerry Pass of Chrome Entertainment alongside Sclafani\u2019s First Child Prods.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Hermit\u201d is the first English-language feature directed and produced by Sclafani, a Palermo, Italy, native who has been living Los Angeles, where he produced the 2019 pandemic thriller \u201cTyger Tiger\u201d\u00a0starring Dylan Sprouse.<\/p>\n

\n\tDragged on a vacation to the woods, two self-absorbed teens played by Weissman and Anthony Turpel (\u201cBloody Bridget\u201d), venture off trail, stumble across a farm, go in, see animal heads hanging from the wall and \u201cfight for their lives against an unstoppable cannibal pig farmer,\u201d according to the synopsis for \u201cThe Hermit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKeith Leopard, president of Uncork\u2019d Entertainment, inked the deal with Gato Scatena of S&R Films on behalf of Chrome Entertainment at the Toronto Film Festival<\/a> and market.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSalvatore delivers a fierce, crowd-pleasing ride, while Lou Ferrigno is a force in full creature mode,\u201d said Keith Leopard of Uncork\u2019d in a statement, adding: \u201cWe are thrilled to have acquired \u2018The Hermit\u2019 and can\u2019t wait to share it with horror fans across North America.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
