‘Peter Rabid’ Exclusive Trailer – Upcoming Slasher Movie Looks Like an Easter Version of ‘The Purge’
Gravitas Ventures’ Easter Bloody Easter isn’t the only Easter-themed horror movie headed our way this year, as Shogun Films is getting set to unleash their own slasher: Peter Rabid.
The team tells BD, “Peter Rabid delivers exactly what slasher fans want…blood and buckets of it! If you like inventive kills and practical effects, then you’ll love Peter Rabid!”
Exclusively watch the trailer for Peter Rabid below, which is expected in early 2024.
In the upcoming slasher, “A group of former schoolfriends reunite in a secluded mansion after the death of one of their former classmates. However, their mourning is cut short as masked maniacs – controlled by a deranged cult – arrive with one intention, to slaughter them all.
“Will any of the former school pals survive? Will anything remain of them after Peter Rabid and his insane sister Bedelia are finished?”
Directed by S.J. Evans (Dead of Nite) and written by Adam Stephen Kelly (Nemesis), Peter Rabid stars Guy Henry (Rogue One), Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott (Renegades), and Johnny Palmiero (Green Street Hooligans) alongside Harrison Watson, Kirsty Howe, Madeleine Sidi, Joseph Emms, Harry Walters, Elise Oliviea, Charles Smith and Charlie Bentley.
The titular role is played by Nick Onsloe. Executive Producers for Peter Rabid include Jamie McLeod-Ross and Charley McDougall for Empire Studios, and Thomas Pitts.
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.
