Watch 8 Minutes of Chilean Zombie Flick ‘Teranthropus: The Aberration’
Below you’ll find the longest international trailer ever assembled, an 8-minute long look at Lucio A. Rojas and Cristian Toledo’s Chilean zombie flick Teranthropus: The Aberration, which display the bloodthirsty Pinochet enemy from the 70’s.
“A half beast/half human creature, product of a biological experiment carried out during Salvador Allende’s government has escaped from laboratory and to kill with no mercy anybody who crosses his way. Military soldiers, in a mission to capture a group of MIR militants, change their target in order to combat the monster….”
Supposedly based on true historical facts, Teranthropus (from greek “teras”, wich means Monster) is the name of a half beast/ half human creature, product of a biological experiment carried out during Salvador Allende’s government as a part of a genetic intervention program with the purpose to create super-soldiers to defend nation against a possible US invasion. Once Pinochet takes the power the program is interrupted.
“To create Teranthropus we used horror/action elements for a result that has many similarities with films like Predator, The Thing, Dog Soldiers, but adapted to our national context during that period,” explains Cristian Toledo.
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
