Eli Roth Cameos in ‘Piranha 3D’
Looking at Alex Aja’s history, I’m starting to think that Piranha 3D has the potential to be EPIC. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the film isn’t to be taken too serious and that it’s going to be a fun bloodbath. In addition to the odd cameos of porn star Riley Steele and comedian Paul Scheer (awesome), Bloody-Disgusting learned that writer-director Eli Roth cameos as the host of the wet t-shirt contest. 16 hotties and 32 pairs of soaking wet tits, what more can you want from a Piranha movie in 3-D? Oh yeahhhhh, BLOOD! Read on for a bit on that.
A B-D reader sent me the following excerpt from one of the KNB FX guru’s blog:
“Between us and the physical FX crew this movie has the potential to out blood the 400 gallons we went through on Kill Bill. Remember Lake Havasu, the jewel in the Arizona desert, well Its red now. LOL. We are currently shooting the Lake massacre scene 100 boats, 500 extras, 400 gallons of blood, lots of screaming, lots of bikins, lots of torn flesh and its all in 3D. Come on!!! Tell me you’re not interested in seeing this movie and I’ll call you a liar.”
More blood than in Kill Bill? Are you kidding me? Seriously, this movie sounds like it has some serious potential to entertain. What do you think?
March 19, 2010 can’t come soon enough.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
