Official Trailer for ‘George A. Romero’s Resident Evil’ Documentary Begs the Question of “What Happened?”[Trailer]

Published

on

We had the teaser for the upcoming documentary on George A. Romero‘s failed Resident Evil project way back in March. And now, thanks to the fine people at Residence of Evil, we now have the full trailer for director Brandon Salisbury‘s George A. Romero’s Resident Evil, which is slated for a 2024 release.

Produced by Key 13 Films in association with Point Five Films and written by Salisbury and Robbie McGregor, the documentary provides a look back at what went down with Romero’s script for Resident Evil and Constantin Films back in 1998. George A. Romero’s Resident Evil is a stylized documentary, utilizing archived footage, unearthed documents, and newly filmed interviews with a wide variety of personalities.

Much like the teaser before it, the trailer does delve into fan service with clips of the first game, Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, recreations of the S.T.A.R.S members in the forest and more. The documentary itself will be combining elements from Capcom’s classic video game series (taking place in a mansion that echoes the look of Resident Evil‘s Spencer Mansion) and the raw, visceral style of George A. Romero to fully immerse the audience in a cinematic horror aesthetic.

While we wait for an official release date (and details on who the talking heads are for the documentary), check out Daniel’s overview of what we know so far as to what Romero had in mind for the film, and the roadblocks that eventually caused his script to be dropped.

The Birthday Murders: Viral Marketing Website Launches for ‘Longlegs’

Published

on

NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.

A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.

The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.

The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”

“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”

The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.

Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
