Grave Tone

Pitfall (Screamfest 2025) – Survival Horror with Brutal Practical FX + Interview Tease


Listen Later

In this episode of Grave Tone, Meaghan and Arthur dig into Pitfall (2025)—a backwoods survival slasher that premiered at Screamfest LA—without spoilers. Think 127 Hours, but make it horror… and give the villain a Rambo-style edge.

We break down why the characters feel capable (not cannon fodder), how the practical work sells the pain, and why the cast chemistry keeps the tension human. We also drop a few interview soundbites from our conversation with writer-director James Kondelik and producer Wai Sun Cheng (full interview coming soon). If you’re in New Orleans, keep an eye out—Screamfest NOLA is on the horizon.

Stay tuned for our full interview with the director, James Kondelik, and producer Wai Sun Cheng!
