Creepy Veiny Guy in New ‘Devil’s Playground’ Imagery
After sharing a few images with you last week, we’ve now got our hands on even more from Mark McQueen’s Devil’s Playground, which was recently acquired by Intandem Films.
Starring Danny Dyer (Severance, Adulthood, Straightheads, The Business, Football Factory, Doghouse), Craig Fairbrass (The Bank Job, Far Cry, White Noise 2), Jaime Murray (“Dexter”), Myanna Buring (The Descent, The Descent 2, Lesbian Vampire Killers, The Omen) and Colin Salmon (Punisher, Alien vs Predator, Resident Evil, Tomorrow Never Dies, Exam), the flick is a chilling horror film set in London in the not too distant future.
“A leading drug company’s new product has failed spectacularly causing severe illness in all 30,000 of its test subjects, with the exception of one user – a pregnant woman named Angela. As the drugs flow through their bloodstream the victims become infected, incredibly violent and unable to feel pain. One bite and you join them in the Living Dead. The company employs Cole, an ex-mercenary to hunt down Angela and find out why she is immune. As Cole stalks through the London streets and battles the fast-moving, diseased hordes, he finally finds Angela with a group of survivors and discovers that their only hope of getting out alive is to fight their way to the last remaining helicopter out.“
Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, becoming one of the most watched original movies in the streaming service’s history.
Coming soon? The Platform 2! Netflix has shared two first look images from the upcoming sequel this morning, which will again be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in The Platform 2.
Netflix previews, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
No word yet on a Netflix premiere date for The Platform 2. Stay tuned.
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.
