‘Thing’-Inspired ‘Attack of the Demons’ Clip Takes a Decapitated Head for a Walk [Exclusive]
Mixing “South Park” with Evil Dead, the hotly anticipated Attack of the Demons will open in virtual cinemas on October 30th before splattering paper-cut gore across the screen on Digital HD and On Demand November 3rd.
Written, directed and animated by Eric Power, Meagan wrote that Attack of the Demons “wears its horror influences on its sleeve and then some.”
“Power manages to throw every possible manner of gore, viscera, bile, and blood on screen, creating delightful body horror and carnage,” adds Navarro. “It’s pure chaos.”
In the film from Dark Star Pictures (Koko-Di Koko-Da, Empathy, Inc., Jumbo, King Cohen), “For centuries, a demonic cult has been plotting world destruction. When a small Colorado town is overrun by a legion of mutating demons, three non-demon hunter friends must use every skill their minds can fathom to stave off the demon apocalypse.”
Bloody Disgusting has this brand new exclusive clip in which a demon has his head shotgunned off only to have it mutate all Thing-like!
Power’s other animated horror feature, Path of Blood, will also be streaming on Bloody Disgusting TV exclusively on The Roku Channel this Halloween weekend. It makes for the perfect double feature!
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.
