Director Eric Mathis of Grime House Films and Drake Teer of Teer/Mathis Productions have unleashed the trailer for their upcoming horror movie INfernal, said to be a “thrilling, heavy metal-infused Faustian tale.” The team promises to deliver a “unique blend of horror, metal music, and monstrous mayhem that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.”

Having wrapped production, INfernal is now in its final stages, and the team has launched a finishing funds campaign on Indiegogo. At this time, they are 63% of the way to their goal.

INfernal follows the story of four friends – two of whom are undead and one a pig demon from hell – as they race against time to outsmart the Devil himself after a summoning ritual goes disastrously wrong. In a desperate fight to save their souls, these friends must navigate a nightmarish landscape filled with heavy metal fury and demonic terror in order to find “the metal blade, the only thing that can send the devil back to hell!

Eric Mathis previews, “I really wanted this film to be different and unlike anything else people are making right now. I wanted to combine heavy metal and horror but also have a great story with awesome characters that were well developed and that you actually care about. The film is almost like an over-the-top adventure like The Goonies with all of the elements of horror and some outrageous comedy that I really think audiences are going to like. It is not just another low budget indie film, the production value, the acting, the special FX, and the story are really pro level and elevated. INfernal really looks and plays like we spent 10 times what we actually spent on this. We are all very proud of what we accomplished.”

The cast for INfernal includes Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn), Pancho Moler (Rob Zombie’s 31 and 3 from Hell), Sky Elobar (The Greasy Strangler), and Mark Torgl (The Toxic Avenger), with Clint Hummel as The Devil himself.

“INfernal stands out with its jaw-dropping special effects, crafted by the legendary Joe Castro, known for his groundbreaking work in indie horror,” the team also tells Bloody Disgusting.

You can support INfernal over on Indiegogo now.

This intimate, well-researched look into his life expands my appreciation of the maestro.”
