‘PussyCake’ – Reviews Praise SCREAMBOX Original as “a Grotesque Mashup of Josie and the Pussycats and Evil Dead”!

The all-horror streaming service SCREAMBOX is now powered by Bloody Disgusting, and we’re excited to let you know that the next SCREAMBOX Original is PussyCake, a gore-fest from Argentina that will be available On Digital & Streaming on SCREAMBOX August 30!

With reverence for many of the eighties classics we love, including Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead(!), Pablo Parés‘ PussyCake promises monsters, inter-dimensional journeys, kickass music and of course, lots of gore.

In the film, a struggling all-girl rock band kicks off a new tour, hoping to rekindle their popularity. Things are off to a bad start, however, when they show up to their first gig to find the town deserted. After they catch the attention of horrors from beyond our reality, the band realizes that being forgotten by their fans is the least of their problems.

ScreenAnarchy raved about PussyCake out of the Fantaspoa premiere, calling it “pure, uncut Midnighter fodder,” further adding that it’s “absolutely frantic, manic, nonsensical and off the wall!”

It then screened at the Chattanooga Film Festival this past weekend where it received a heft of praise.

Daily Grindhouse calls it “the femme midnight zombie flick you didn’t know you needed,” adding that it’s “a gloriously grotesque mashup of Josie and the Pussycats and Evil Dead.”

Eric Langberg published a review over on Medium, calling PussyCake “a punk-rock gorefest for the ages,” and exclaiming that it’s “SLiTHER meets Josie and the Pussycats meets 28 Days Later meets Psycho Gorman.” He adds: “As the kids say… this movie fucks.”

“I want to see this in a crowded theater or at the drive-in and just hear an audience go wild for this,” writes Bands About Movies, who also joked, “I can only imagine the hot water and fresh towel budget that this film had.”

Here are a handful of the insta-responses from Twitter:

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
