A unique concept brilliantly executed on a low budget, Japanese horror-comedy One Cut of the Dead has already yielded two international remakes. Following Final Cut from France, Blood Moon Rite 8 is a Vietnamese take on the meta material.
Skyline Media and Eastern Edge Films are collaborating to release Blood Moon Rite 8 in more than 90 theaters across North America beginning tomorrow, May 22.
In the film, “A struggling director, known as the ‘king of trash movies’ gets one last chance to earn his art-loving daughter’s respect by taking on his biggest challenge yet: filming a 35-minute zombie movie… live, in one single take.
“But when his wildly unpredictable cast, nonstop mistakes, and behind-the-scenes chaos turn the whole set into a complete mess, the line between acting and reality starts to blur in the funniest ways possible. ”
Within the movie, Blood Moon Rite 8 is the latest sequel in a fictional franchise filmed by the characters — a playful satire of sequel culture.
Quoc Khanh, Quynh Ly, Lam Thanh My, Quang Minh, Hua Vi Van, Hong Anh, Duc Khue, and Charlie Nguyen lead the ensemble cast.
Phan Gia Nhat Linh directs. Chanh Phuong Films, Anh Teu Studio, Sidus and Teu Entertainment produce.
