‘There Are Monsters’ Everywhere In This First Look! (AFM)
The Works is selling the 2010 indie feature There Are Monsters, directed by Jay Dahl, and base don his 2008 short film.
Guy Germain and Kristin Langille star in the They Live-esque horror film, “The world is being taken over – slowly, quietly and efficiently – by monsters. And they look just like us! There Are Monsters follows a crew of film students on a road trip who discover evidence of evil doppelgängers. The crew soon realize something is very wrong as the world starts to change before their eyes…and their cameras.”
It’s also described as a zombie apocalypse horror film.
Here’s the lengthy synopsis:
Seven different people living seven different lives.
These are people just trying to pay their mortgage. Or graduate from the fifth grade. Or fall in love.
Until they begin to notice that something is happening to the world.
There are unsettling clues that not everyone is who they appear to be.
There are vicious, intelligent creatures that live among us. They hunt us with blinding speed, or quiet manipulation.
They can mimic and replace us, their hosts, almost perfectly. They come for us as our closest friends and family.
And their numbers are growing. If people want to live, they must now learn to run, hide and fight. As the world in which they know, turns into a living nightmare.
Here’s the 2008 short.
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
