‘Desert Fiends’ NSFW Trailer – ‘Hills Have Eyes’ Homage Is Loaded With Practical Gore and Crazy Creatures

Published

on

Director Shawn C. Phillips (Amityville Karen, Woods Witch) is back with Desert Fiends, a new indie horror movie that’s packed with familiar faces and bloody carnage candy.

You can watch the official trailer for Desert Fiends below, which runs over 3-minutes long and plays out like a highlight reel of the old school practical effects you can expect in this one.

Fans of Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes will probably want to check this one out, as well as anyone who has an affinity for practical gore effects and wild monster makeups.

In Desert Fiends, “Six friends break down in the middle of nowhere on the way to a concert and encounter a deranged family that lives in the desert killing anyone they come across.”

The impressive cast includes Spencer Breslin, Lorelei Linklater, Eric Roberts, Scout Taylor Compton, Tom Arnold, Michael Pare, Bai Ling, Robert Lasardo, William McNamara, Lisa Wilcox, Eileen Dietz, Nicole Butler, and Brett Wagner.

We don’t have a release date for Desert Fiends at this time. Stay tuned.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
