‘Destroy All Neighbors’ Trailer – Shudder’s Splatter-Comedy Promises a Wild, Gory Ride
Shudder aims to kick the new year off with rockin’ splatter-comedy Destroy All Neighbors, starring Alex Winter and Jonah Ray Rodrigues. A brand new trailer debuted today, promising one zany and gory ride ahead.
Look for Destroy All Neighbors next month, when it releases on Shudder on January 12, 2024.
In the film, “William Brown (Jonah Ray Rodrigues), a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad (Alex Winter). Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla.”
The horror movie is described as “a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and LOTS of blood.” Sounds like a good time to me!
Watch the SFX-heavy, gory, and retro-styled trailer below.
Contracted: Phase II‘s Josh Forbes directed Destroy All Neighbors from a screenplay by Charles Pieper and Jared Logan, with story by Pieper and Mike Benner.
Kiran Deol stars alongside Winter and Rodrigues.
While most movie fans remember Winter for his excellent role in the Bill & Ted trilogy, horror fans celebrate the for his role in The Lost Boys and as the director of the cult classic Freaked. Rodrigues has also quickly become a horror stalwart, having recently appeared in Suitable Flesh, Satanic Hispanics, and last year’s Christmas Bloody Christmas.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Shudder and RLJE on this labor of love,” Winter told Deadline previously. “Our film is a return to the kind of physical effects-driven genre comedy that’s all too rare these days.”
Luckily we don’t have too long to wait to see how this bloody splatter-comedy unfolds.
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.”
