#FIRSTLOOK: NEW POSTER FOR “HOME BODIES”

he team behind HOME BODIES has unveiled the official poster and a new still for the new sci-fi thriller from filmmaker Casey Walker, ahead of its World Premiere at the 30th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival. The poster was created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative.

VVS Films holds Canadian rights to the film, which is directed and produced by Walker alongside fellow producer Karen Harnisch (INFINITY POOL, SLEEPING GIANT), EP’s Todd Brown (THE RAID, MANDY) and Chad Archibald (UNDERTONE). HOME BODIES stars Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser, and will have its World Premiere on Thursday, July 23, 2026 at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.

In HOME BODIES, Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.

“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share HOME BODIES on such a special anniversary of the festival. “

Walker returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE screened at the festival in 2012. In the years since, he has continued to be part of the Canadian genre landscape, including as a producer on THE VOID and IN A VIOLENT NATURE.
