Dracula Attacks in ‘Vampire Zombies From Space’ Clip [Exclusive]
Dracula attacks a small-town mayor and his wife in our exclusive clip from Vampire Zombies… From Space!, a send-up to campy 1950s B-movies.
Drawing inspiration from Mel Brooks, Ed Wood, and South Park, the sci-fi horror comedy invades Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, January 20, via Cleopatra Entertainment.
10 years after witnessing her mother’s gruesome death at the hands of Dracula, Mary’s sister and father mysteriously vanish in the small town of Marlow. As Mary investigates their disappearances, a full-blown zombie outbreak erupts.
Amidst the chaos, Mary finds an unlikely ally in Wayne, a chain-smoking greaser with a heart of gold. Together, they uncover Dracula’s master plan: to build an unstoppable army of vampire zombies, using the unsuspecting townspeople of Marlow as his soldiers.
They must band together with hard-nosed police Chief Clarke and rookie Detective Wallace to stop Dracula and his undead legion before they overrun Marlow… and possibly the world!
Canadian filmmaker Michael Stasko directs from a script he co-wrote with Jakob Skrzypa and Alex Forman.
Jessica Antovski, Rashaun Baldeo, Andrew Bee, Oliver Georgiou, Craig Gloster, and Simon Reynolds (Saw VI) star with Judith O’Dea (Night of the Living Dead), David Liebe Hart (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”), and Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger).
Out today in select theaters and on digital platforms is heartfelt and playful documentary Mockbuster, which sees a director cold call a studio and ask to helm a lost-world dinosaur epic.
Inexplicably, they say yes.
Our exclusive clip below highlights both the comedic nature of this bizarre scenario as well as the pressures of shooting dino feature The Land That Time Forgot in a mere six days, with no real feature experience.
A dino attack scene causes friction on set in this scene.
In the documentary, “A struggling filmmaker’s opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado’s notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a ‘mockbuster.’ With six days, a micro budget, and mounting pressure, Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition.”
More than just an inside look at filmmaking via low-budget film studio The Asylum, it doubles as one man’s pursuit of his dreams to charming, humorous effect.
“Mockbuster is a documentary about my own journey, but it’s also a love letter to one of the last grindhouses still functioning in Hollywood. We get to meet the characters and creators of some of the most infamous (and most hated) B-movies of the last few decades. People who make movies purely for profit – no pretension, no artistry, just monsters, C-listers, and chaos. A film that both genre fans and cinephiles can enjoy. But Mockbuster isn’t just about filmmaking, it’s about losing sight of your dreams, and reclaiming them in your own twisted way,” Director Anthony Frith said in a statement.
From Executive Producer and famed documentarian David Farrier, Mockbuster opens in select theaters and on digital platforms beginning July 10.
