Deathstalker Productions, led by Carissa Pierson, is breaking new ground in horror with their upcoming film, A Soldier’s Descent. This isn’t just another slasher—this is a visceral, heart-pounding horror experience that blends epic kills and brutal terror with real, raw topics that matter. Never before has a horror movie tackled PTSD, suicide, domestic violence, and substance abuse with this level of honesty while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. A Soldier’s Descent aims to shock, scare, and make history, all while raising awareness and helping save lives.
Filming begins this November and will take place across some of North Carolina’s most atmospheric locations: the veteran-favorite Charlie Mike’s bar and the tactical Black Ops Paintball & Airsoft park in Fayetteville, along with a remote, eerie country property in Roaring River. These locations provide the perfect backdrop for both intense action and horrifying sequences that horror fans crave.
The film stars Andrew Pierson, known for Return of the Living Dead: Trash’s Revenge and as William Spanner in Witchcraft 17 and Witchcraft XVIII: The Lanterne of Light. Joseph Poliquin, best known for Five Nights at Freddy’s and The Purge TV series, joins the cast, delivering electrifying performances that bring the story’s high-stakes terror to life.
Adding to its authenticity and impact, A Soldier’s Descent proudly features over a dozen Veterans as part of the cast and Producer team—bringing real-life experience, grit, and passion to the screen.
Carissa Pierson brings over 79 film credits to the production, including Executive Producer on Witchcraft 17 and Producer for the upcoming Witchcraft XVIII, cementing her reputation as a powerhouse in the horror genre.
