Ultra-violent Clip From ‘Caught’ Gouges Out Eyes and Smashes Skulls
This exclusive clip from Jamie Patterson’s (Fractured, City of Dreamers) alien home invasion thriller Caught doesn’t pull any punches. Opening in theaters, On Demand and Digital HD on March 30th, the footage is absolutely vicious, showing a police officer having his eyes gouged out and his brains smashed in as a woman is forced to watch. “You shouldn’t have asked for help”…
I reviewed the film and wrote:
“While Caught won’t abduct everyone’s attention, it’s a strange, unique, and intense indie that will be welcomed by both sci-fi and horror fans alike.”
Filmed in East Sussex, UK where aliens were sighted in 1967: “While on an afternoon walk with their children, two small-town reporters notice the military camped on a hilltop. Debating the possible significance of this activity, they answer their door when two unusual strangers come knocking and find themselves held hostage in their own home.”
Caught stars Mickey Sumner (Frances Ha, End of the Tour, The Mend), April Pearson (Skins. Tormented, Age of Kill), Cian Barry (Dr. Foster, Nina Forever), Ruben Crow(Doctors, Austenland), David Mounfield (This is Jinsy), and newcomers Aaron Davis and baby Regan Brown.
“This is a different kind of horror film. Inspired by films of the 70’s, I wanted a gritty, raw feel to the story because there’s nothing glossy about horror,” said Patterson. “This is my idea of alien art house.
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
