Zombie Slasher ‘Dead Squad’ Heads to the Balinese Jungle (Exclusive)
Filming of the camp horror film Dead Squad has commenced in the Balinese jungle.
Towering Aussie giant Conan Stevens, known for “Game of Thrones,” is on location to play the mysterious character called ‘Z-13.’ He is joined by the world’s tallest model Erika Ervin, aka Amazon Eve from “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” in the role of a ‘Zombie Queen.’
“DEAD SQUAD is a campy, splatter-filled, horror adventure that harkens back to classic films of the early 80’s. It concerns a group of young people who become lost in the jungle during a river rafting trip and stumble upon a long lost ruin that is home to a host of mysterious monsters.”
First time helmer Dominik Hauser, who co-wrote the script, describes the roles of the towering stars as being “The King and Queen of a weird Dantean underworld. We’re doing things with them you haven’t seen before.”
Stevens and Ervin are supported by a wide array of bizarre creatures. Bigger ever than the stars are the giant stage sets constructed at Movie Studio Bali making the hellish underworld a reality. Hauser promises the film will be “an epic zombie splatterfest.”
Orlando Bassi of Movie Studio Bali, and Christopher Hatton, producer and director of “Battle of the Damned” are producing.
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
