‘Friday the 13th’ Star Heads to the ‘burbs in ‘Neighbor’
Lionsgate announced today a July 27 release for Robert A. Masciantonio’s latest thriller, Neighbor, starring the incredibly sexy America Olivo (Bitch Slap, Friday the 13th). The package will be home to a special effects featurette, a fight scene featurette, behind-the-scenes interviews, and outtakes. When a mysterious new girl arrives in town, residents of the posh suburban neighborhood realize that she is not so ordinary. Charming and personable, the new girl is also a cold-blooded killer, breaking into homes and torturing and slaughtering anyone inside. A local bachelor quickly finds himself tied up with the newcomer, just in time for her to become friendly with his party guests.
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
