Blood Sprays in the Red Band ‘For the Sake of Vicious’ Trailer
Blood sprays in the red band trailer for the action-horror For the Sake of Vicious, which is being sold worldwide by Toronto-based genre label Raven Banner.
The film, co-directed by Reese Eveneshen & Gabriel Carrer, “follows the story of Romina, a nurse and single mother, who returns home after a long shift to find a maniac sheltering in her house with a barely living hostage.
“With the clock ticking on solving the mystery, waves of violent intruders descend upon the neighbourhood and besiege the home. The only way she can survive this cat-and-mouse scenario is to become just as vicious as everyone else.”
Raven Banner will keep the gore and scares coming with another new title to launch at the upcoming Cannes virtual market; Ariel Martínez Herrera’s timely adventure Toxico.
In the film, “Amid a global insomnia pandemic, Laura and Augusto flee the city in their mobile home to get away from the chaos. As they travel, the road becomes increasingly uninhabited, silence grows stronger, and it becomes more difficult to distinguish reality from waking dreams.”
Additional titles the company is also representing include Skull: The Mask of Anhanga, The Dead Ones, To Kill a Dragon, Penance Lane, Nail in the Coffin, and SXSW Midnighter Yummy.
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.
