Director Gregory Plotkin’s Hell Fest is now available for digital purchase and next heads to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on January 8th, where it hopes to find a larger audience than it did in theaters last year. The theme park-set slasher film pulled in just over $17 million worldwide at the box office, so we’re not exactly expecting a sequel anytime soon.
Then again, the production budget was just $5.5 million, so anything is possible.
Speaking with Daily Dead, Plotkin recently talked the potential sequel(s) he’d love to make.
“I’m not sure the box office was what people were hoping for a sequel,” Plotkin first told the site.
“Everyone’s been so wonderful from CBS, Lionsgate, Gale [Anne Hurd]. We have a lot of ideas. I think this is a character that we want to explore. I really want to explore Tony Todd’s character [and the fact that] he owns this place more. Tony is just a phenomenal person and a phenomenal actor. He and I had a lot of conversations about it.”
He continued, “And there’s this whole idea of that mask room was kills that [the villain has] done in years past. I have thought through quite a few fun new kills we could employ and some different scenarios. Six or seven years ago, these parks were not as elaborate and intricate as they were today. We have a lot of different geographical locations where we could stage a park. If we’re lucky enough to do it, I would love to. But, unfortunately, it’s not in my hands right now.”
