‘The Mutilator’ – Everyone’s Favorite Rom-Com? [Exclusive]

What if The Mutilator was a rom-com? We think the trailer would look something like this!

Originally titled Fall Break, The Mutilator is one of the most notorious slashers of the 80’s and one of the last movies I expected to ever see get a Blu-ray release. Fortunately we have Arrow Video rescuing lost gems and they’ll be releasing this classic in the UK on February 15 and the US on February 16.

In honor of that upcoming release and Valentine’s Day, Arrow has re-cut the film’s trailer to give it a rom-com twist all while still using the film’s opening song! We think it’s pretty fantastic!

Synopsis:

A teenager who accidentally committed matricide finds himself being hunted together with his girlfriend and mates by his now crazed father.

Indonesian filmmaker Kimo Stamboel (Macabre, Headshot, The Queen of Black Magic) is back in the director’s chair for MD Pictures’ Badarawuhi Di Desa Penari (aka Dancing Village: The Curse Begins), a prequel to the Indonesian box office hit KKN Curse Of The Dancing Village. Lionsgate brings the film to U.S. theaters on April 26.

While you wait, whet your appetite for gruesome horror with a gnarly exclusive clip from Dancing Village: The Curse Begins below, along with a gallery of bloody exclusive images.

In the horror prequel, “A shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the ‘Dancing Village,’ a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away, and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.

“Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new ‘Dawuh,’ a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.”

Kimo Stamboel directs from a screenplay by Lele Laila.
