Director Neill Blomkamp’s New Sci-fi/Horror Movie Summons a ‘Demonic’ Entity on August 20th [Trailer]
Neill Blomkamp (District 9) is back this year with new supernatural horror movie Demonic, set for theatrical, On Demand and Digital release via IFC Midnight on August 20, 2021.
As promised yesterday, the official teaser trailer for Blomkamp’s Demonic has been unleashed today, and we have Fandango to thank for giving us our first look this morning.
At the center of things is a young woman who’s dropped into some kind of simulation, wherein she appears to make contact with a demonic entity. Yes, this is another collision of science fiction and horror from the District 9 and Chappie filmmaker, whose recent short films under the Oats Studios banner often mashed up the two genres to create visionary madness.
Here’s hoping Blomkamp had the same creative freedom with Demonic, which indeed looks to be a wild trip into the darkest corners of his mind. Check out the teaser below!
In Demonic, a young woman unleashes terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed.
Carly Pope (Elysium), Chris William Martin (The Age of Adaline, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, The Vampire Diaries), and Michael Rogers (Siren, The Blacklist, Supernatural) star.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
