‘Splatter Sisters’ Plot Details, Manson and Wood’s Roles Detailed
MTV caught up with Adam Bhala Lough, the man who will be directing both Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood in his 80’s homage Splatter Sisters, a sexploitation-serial-killer-slasher-road-movie circa 1989 dubbed “Skinemax Cinema.” We now have a plot crunch: “It’s about two 18 year old beautiful drifter girls who go on a murderous rampage across California, killing scores of teenage boys,” he tells MTV. “And they’re under mind control by the leader of this death metal band, this underground death metal band.” Manson will be starting his own metal band to score the film, as previously reported. He’ll be playing “Lars”, the rock leader who is also a samurai (really?), while Wood takes on the role of one of the titular Splatter Sisters. Click on over to MTV to read more.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
