Pictured: 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch' Emmy-winning voice actor Charlie Adler (Transformers) will make his on-screen debut with a leading role in the sci-fi horror comedy The Cryptid, Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned. Kym Jackson (We Bury the Dead), Kevin Sizemore (“The Staircase”), and Andrew Steel also star. Chapel Oaks (“Will Trent”), Bradford Haynes, and Larkin Campbell round out the ensemble. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is being touted as an original sci‑fi creature thriller that blends suspense, humor, and heart. Commercial director Shawn Driscoll makes his feature debut on the project, which he co-wrote with with Campbell. “It’s a horror film with heart — a character-driven story blending dark humor, emotional depth, and classic genre thrills, paying homage to old-school creature films,” explains Driscoll. Filming is currently underway in southern West Virginia, with Sizemore producing via his GKg Productions, alongside Driscoll, Campbell, and Gina Lombardi. Named one of Animation Magazine’s Top 13 All-Time Voice-Over Artists and Animation World Network’s Voice of the Decade, Adler is best known for voicing Starscream in the Transformers film franchise and as the original voice of Buster Bunny in “Tiny Toon Adventures.” Adler’s 40+ year career also includes “Cow and Chicken,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” “Aaahh!!!

Grind makes its world premiere tonight at SXSW in Austin, Texas. The comedic horror anthology spins four interconnected tales of workplace horror that tackle the most terrifying aspect of modern life: making a living. In the clip below, Marquette’s Joel finds himself dealing with terrifying threats while moderating online content, though he can’t let the cracks show to his boss. SXSW breaks down the anthology even further, with the segments following “the hustle culture of an MLM, the endless repetitiveness of a food delivery driver, the online horrors of a content moderator, and the unionization of a familiar-feeling coffee shop. “Grind” shows what it means to be a worker in a world defined by wealth inequality and ruled by endlessly greedy oligarchs, one not so far removed from our own.” The ensemble cast also includes Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Vinny Thomas, Jessika Van, James Urbaniak, Courtney Pauroso, James Paxton, Ify Nwadiwe, and Aubrey Shea. Brea Grant (Torn Hearts, 12 Hour Shift), Ed Dougherty, and Chelsea Stardust (Satanic Panic) direct from a script by Grant and Dougherty. Stardust produces. Ahead of Grind‘s premiere tonight, Deadline reports that Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded sales of the project. “Grind subverts the anthology genre by creating something more cohesive, more interconnected and by doing so wonderfully plays on so many feelings we are all struggling all while providing a great deal of laughs along the way,” says Yellow Veil Co-Found Joe Yanick, “ It’s the perfect kind of film to play before SXSW audiences, and we can’t wait to hear their reactions.” Stay tuned for more from Grind and SXSW as the fest gets underway today.
