‘It Stains the Sands Red’ Clip Reminds Me of ‘Night of the Living Dead’
A clip from the upcoming zombie horror/thriller It Stains the Sands Red has come out of Sitges, where it will be making its world premiere, and can be seen below. It shows Molly (Brittany Allen) facing off against a lone zombie who is chasing her in the desert. As she tries to defend herself, the zombie only gets closer and closer.
This clip calls to mind Night of the Living Dead because it reminds me of the opening scene where the cemetery zombie is chasing Barbara, only this time Molly doesn’t turn and run, at least not anywhere in this clip.
Directed by The Vicious Brothers (Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz), “‘It Stains the Sands Red’ begins following a zombie apocalypse, when Molly finds herself lost in the desert with one of the rabid living dead hot on her trail. Although at first she finds it hard to give him the slip, the situation gets even more complicated when the girl realizes that, unlike her, her pursuer has no physical need to stop and rest.“
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
