“You would brave a Hell for your loved ones. I would construct one for mine!”

A new trailer for Darren Lynn Bousman’s horror film Abattoir has just come out and it explains the odd yet incredibly unique concept behind the movie. Basically, a strange man is going around literally ripping out rooms from houses where violent deaths occurred and then constructing his own house with them. A reporter investigates the strange phenomenon and gets sucked into a journey that she may never escape from.

“Abattoir centers on a real estate reporter who unearths an urban legend about a house being built from rooms where horrific tragedies have occurred. The investigation ultimately leads to the enigmatic Jebediah Crone and the answer to the terrifying question, ‘How do you build a haunted house?’ ”

Bloody Disgusting’s Kalyn Corrigan caught the World Premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and wrote in her review:

‘Abattoir’ makes a name for itself for its premise alone, which separates it from nearly anything else in mainstream horror right now. It’s a terrific little idea that if executed correctly, could spans several sequels, as the house allows for many different types of backgrounds to be explored, and future rooms to be filled.

Dayton Callie, Joe Anderson (Hercules), Jessica Lowndes (Altitude, Autopsy) and Lin Shaye (Insidious) also star.

Bousman shot Abattoir in New Orleans from a script by Christopher Monfette.
