Former Marvel Legend Makes His Horror Movie Debut in 'The Hermit'
Movieweb reports Lou Ferrigno, the 6'5" former bodybuilder who played the title character in The Incredible Hulk TV show in the 1970s and '80s, is returning to the screen as a cannibal pig farmer in the horror movie The Hermit. The plot, which should sound familiar to anyone who's seen a slasher movie from the '70s onward, follows two teenagers played by Malina Weissman and Anthony Turpel who are dragged on a vacation to the woods and soon find themselves fighting for their lives against an enormous backwoods murder machine.
The Hermit is directed by Salvatore Sciafani and is being released by Uncork'd Entertainment. The trailer gives Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes, with teenagers traveling to a rural area and a large cannibal who seems to take orders from his mother; Ferrigno's character appears to prefer an axe and is often shrouded in shadow.
"Lou Ferrigno delivers a performance that horror fans won't see coming," said Uncork'd President Keith Leopard, per Bleeding Cool.
