In This ‘Nightworld’ Clip, Robert Englund Talks the Gates of Hell [Exclusive]
Gravitas Ventures is set to release Nightworld, starring A Nightmare On Elm Street‘s Robert Englund, on October 20, 2017.
Both Englund and Jason London are featured in this exclusive clip from Patricio Valladares’ (Hidden in the Woods, the upcoming Downhill) new supernatural horror drama. Here, Englund explains the several Gates of Hell and how they unlock the “Land of the Dead”.
Penned by Barry Keating, Loris Curci and Milan Konjevic, “When Former LAPD Office, Brett Irlam takes a job as head of security at an old apartment building in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, he soon begins to experience a series of bizarre and terrifying events. Once he begins to delve deep into the building’s sinister history, and investigate it’s shadowy owners and past employees, Brett soon uncovers a malevolent force nestled deep in the bowels of the building in basement that will do anything to be set free into our world.”
“I had never played a blind man before,” Englund previously joked. “It was challenging, fun and my character had some great lines. ‘Nightworld’ is one of the scariest scripts I have read in a long time. The story is haunting and original, and opens up to possible sequels…”
Released by Eli Roth’s label The Horror Section last year, Joe Begos (VFW, Christmas Bloody Christmas) horror movie Jimmy and Stiggs is getting an official spinoff movie.
Sebastián De Caro has acquired the Argentine spin-off rights to Jimmy and Stiggs from The Horror Section, and his spinoff movie will follow new characters in Argentina.
The title? Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore. Eli Roth and Joe Begos will Executive Produce the film, which centers on the same alien threat from Jimmy and Stiggs.
Variety reports this afternoon that the film will feature an all-female cast.
Agostina Palazzolo (“Ciclón), Agustina “Papry” Suásquita (Netflix’s “Envious”) and Maia Tarcic (“Letters to My Ex”) will star in Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore.
“I am thrilled with the cast — these are women of extraordinary talent, true cinema lovers, brave and wild. They are going to surprise everyone. Each one understands her character perfectly and they all fell in love with the original material,” Sebastián De Caro said.
In Jimmy and Stiggs…
A perfect storm of lousy news sees out-of-work filmmaker Jimmy spiral into a bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing their return, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war. Begos stars alongside Matt Mercer (Contracted), practical alien puppets, and a whole lot of gore captured on 16mm film.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “The world needs more playful, gonzo small-scale-yet-apocalyptic horror films like Jimmy and Stiggs. It’s a movie that has constant tricks on display and perpetually sprays blood in the audience’s face, but there’s an earnest center to it all.”
