First Look at the Vampire Abby in ‘Let Me In’!!
Bloody Disgusting was provided with your first ever look at Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) as the vampire “girl” Abby in Hammer and Overture Films’ Let Me In. In the pic, it looks as if Abby had a little midnight snack. Based on the bestselling Swedish novel, “Lat den Ratte Komma In” (“Let the Right One In”), by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let Me In follows an alienated 12-year-old boy who befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. Directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), this new adaptation arrives in theaters October 1.
Zach Cregger is no stranger to violent movies, with his first two at-bats in the horror genre yielding the films Barbarian and Weapons. But even those movies can’t compete with the level of violence on display in his next movie Resident Evil, he teases in a new chat.
Zach Cregger tells Empire Magazine that Resident Evil is “definitely the most violent thing I’ve done.” He teases, “You gotta go grotesque! I wanted to go all the way.”
“So it’s gnarly. It’s brutal,” Cregger continues. “A very bloody affair.”
He also tells Empire, “Fleshing out what [the Umbrella Corporation is] up to and how the T-virus works, that’s not what this movie is. This movie is about one dude’s journey on foot, fighting monsters. I don’t give a fuck about checking boxes. All I cared about was just telling a fun story. We step on the gas at about eight minutes in and never take our foot off the floor.”
Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
The film is being billed as “a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise” from the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons).
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
