[Indie] Trailer for Punk Horror ‘Straight Edge Kegger’
Here’s the brand new trailer for director Jason Zink and Weird on Top Pictures’ newest grindhouse slasher, Straight Edge Kegger. This batshit-crazy throwback possesses some razor-sharp wit and a real zest for total chaos. Get ready to tap this keg of murder and mayhem!
Jason Zink is a writer, producer and director known for When I Die (2009), Night Terrors (2014), Where Happiness Lies (2016) and his proof-of-concept trailer Straight Edge Kegger (2016). When I Die was the winner of Best Comedic Feature at the DIY Film Festival. Night Terrors, Zink’s second feature, received worldwide distribution through Camp Motion Pictures and was selected by the HORRORizon Film Festival and Indie Horror Film Festival. Where Happiness Lies, Zink’s first produced documentary, was an official selection at the Louisville International Film Festival.
Zink had this to say about his film:
“My intention with Straight Edge Kegger is to explore fears that I feel are relevant not only to me but to society as a whole: that we are living in an increasingly violent world; that we are vulnerable to threats beyond our understanding; that our society is being torn apart by ignorance; and that we tend to demonize that which we do not understand. The horror genre is the ideal way to explore these fears in a visceral way, while creating something that will be memorable, emotional, thought-provoking, exciting and, above all, genuinely frightening.”
This actually looks like a fun indie horror flick in the same vein as The Green Room, along with some elements from The Purge too. With the state of the government, there seems to be an uptick in punk activity and punk-inspired movies, such as The Ranger, Bomb City, and Boogeyman Pop. Be sure to keep an eye out for this one and continue to support the indie community.
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.
