Official One Sheet Debut for George A. Romero’s ‘Survival of the Dead’

Published

on

Survival isn’t just for the living,” is the sweet tagline for Survival of the Dead, George A. Romero’s latest zombie flick premiering on VOD, XBOX Live, Playstation and Amazon on April 30th before taking over theaters on May 28 from Magnet Releasing. Gearing up for the release, beyond the break you’ll find our exclusive look at official one sheet! The plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure. Check out the poster below and tell us what you think about it!
Immediately following the events of “Diary of the Dead,” “Survival of the Dead,” is the 6th film from George A. Romero to look at a world where humans are in the minority and the zombies rule.

Off the coast of Delaware sits the cozy Plum Island where two families are locked in a struggle for power, as it has been for generations. The O’Flynn’s, headed by patriarch Patrick O’Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), feel that the zombies should be quarantined and kept ‘alive,’ in hopes that a solution will someday be found.

The O’Flynn’s, who are clearly outnumbered, are forced to exile Patrick by boat to the mainland, where he meets up with a cynical band of soldiers, headed by Guardsman Sarge (Alan Van Sprang). They join forces and return to the island, to find that the zombie plague has fully gripped the divided community, and the body count is rising.

As the battle between humans and zombies escalates, the master filmmaker continues to reinvent the modern horror genre with wicked humor and pointed social commentary.

‘INfernal’ Trailer – Heavy Metal Horror Movie Loads Up on Creatures and Gore

Published

on

Director Eric Mathis of Grime House Films and Drake Teer of Teer/Mathis Productions have unleashed the trailer for their upcoming horror movie INfernal, said to be a “thrilling, heavy metal-infused Faustian tale.” The team promises to deliver a “unique blend of horror, metal music, and monstrous mayhem that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.”

Having wrapped production, INfernal is now in its final stages, and the team has launched a finishing funds campaign on Indiegogo. At this time, they are 63% of the way to their goal.

INfernal follows the story of four friends – two of whom are undead and one a pig demon from hell – as they race against time to outsmart the Devil himself after a summoning ritual goes disastrously wrong. In a desperate fight to save their souls, these friends must navigate a nightmarish landscape filled with heavy metal fury and demonic terror in order to find “the metal blade, the only thing that can send the devil back to hell!

Eric Mathis previews, “I really wanted this film to be different and unlike anything else people are making right now. I wanted to combine heavy metal and horror but also have a great story with awesome characters that were well developed and that you actually care about. The film is almost like an over-the-top adventure like The Goonies with all of the elements of horror and some outrageous comedy that I really think audiences are going to like. It is not just another low budget indie film, the production value, the acting, the special FX, and the story are really pro level and elevated. INfernal really looks and plays like we spent 10 times what we actually spent on this. We are all very proud of what we accomplished.”

The cast for INfernal includes Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn), Pancho Moler (Rob Zombie’s 31 and 3 from Hell), Sky Elobar (The Greasy Strangler), and Mark Torgl (The Toxic Avenger), with Clint Hummel as The Devil himself.

“INfernal stands out with its jaw-dropping special effects, crafted by the legendary Joe Castro, known for his groundbreaking work in indie horror,” the team also tells Bloody Disgusting.

You can support INfernal over on Indiegogo now.
