Shudder Inserts Bloody Disgusting’s ‘V/H/S/94’ This October!

Published

on

We’ve found even more tapes and will be bringing them all to Shudder in V/H/S/94, the fourth installment of the Bloody Disgusting-produced horror anthology franchise from Studio71.

It was announced today that V/H/S/94 will kick off horror fans’ month-long Halloween celebration when it premieres on Shudder this coming October 6, 2021!

In V/H/S/94, after the discovery of a mysterious VHS tape, a brutish police swat team launch a high-intensity raid on a remote warehouse, only to discover a sinister cult compound whose collection of pre-recorded material uncovers a nightmarish conspiracy.

Here’s the insane line-up that I hope gets you pumped:

The new movie is being spearheaded by David Bruckner, who directed the “Amateur Night” segment of the first V/H/S which featured the breakout performance of Hannah Fierman as a succubus. Bruckner, whose feature The Night House was picked up by Searchlight Pictures out of Sundance for release this weekend, is also currently in production on Spyglass Media’s Hellraiser reimagining for Hulu. We’ve been a huge fan of Bruckner since he co-directed The Signal and also absolutely love his Netflix creature feature The Ritual.

Another familiar face is Simon Barrett, who helped create the V/H/S franchise and also directed the second film’s wraparound. Simon just saw the release of feature directorial debut, Seance, starring Suki Waterhouse, and also penned several classic horror films from Dead Birds to A Horrible Way to Die, You’re Next, The Guest, and Blair Witch.

Timo Tjahjanto, the Indonesian filmmaker who co-directed V/H/S/2 favorite “Safe Haven”, this time will be going solo with V/H/S/94. Tjahjanto became a horror name with his Indonesian splatterfest Macabre and also is behind two recent Netflix classics, The Night Comes For Us and May the Devil Take You, as well as Killers and Headshot. He’s also getting behind the camera for the James Wan-produced remake of Train to New York for New Line Cinema.

We’re also incredibly excited to get to work with Chloe Okuno, who directed the phenomenal must-see AFI horror short “Slut” (watch it here). She’s an outstanding new voice in horror and has projects in the works with A24, Orion, and even recently filmed Watcher for Spooky Pictures.

Chicago-based Jennifer Reeder takes the reins of the entire film’s wraparound. Reeder is best known among horror fans for her incredible arthouse indie Knives and Skin, released by IFC Films back in 2019. Reeder was also named one of 20 filmmakers shaping the future of cinema by the great Bong Joon Ho (Indiewire)!

Last and certainly not least is Ryan Prows, the madman behind the action-packed, ultraviolent, and off-the-charts cool indie Lowlife, also an IFC Films release. Get ready because Prows is about to blow shit up!

Filmmaking collective Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella), like Bruckner, contributed to the first V/H/S film with their action-packed haunter “10/31/98”, and will also produce V/H/S/94. After directing the instant classic Ready or Not for Searchlight Pictures, the filmmakers will next see their Scream sequel in theaters next year.

We’re trying something a little different with the score as we’ve added Greg Anderson of the legendary drone metal band Sunn O))) and Southern Lord Records founder to the team.

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie

Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.

What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.

The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…

The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”

“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.

“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”

“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
