Another Two Clips from ‘REC 2’ Bring the Blood!!
Update: We’ve also added an incredibly boring featurette that basically just walks you through the movie. The intensity is heating up in two brand new clips from Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza’s Spanish-language REC 2 (review), the sequel to their quasi-zombie pic that takes the horror to a new level: possession. One of the clips features a first-person blood-fest, while the other gives a little more insight to the plot via a blood-soaked “zombie”. While the first REC went direct-to-video thanks to Sony Home Entertainment, Magnet Releasing has locked down a VOD release for June 4 (tomorrow!) with a limited theatrical run slated for July 9. “The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science — a demonic nightmare of Biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside.”
Watch the opening 5 minutes and more!
1995’s pumpkinhead scarecrow is back in the sequel Jack-O 2, and filmmaker Fred Olen Ray (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Evil Toons) has unveiled the first trailer.
Ray writes and directs the sequel.
“JACK-O 2 pushes our characters—and our audience—to the edge while honoring the outrageous spirit of the original,” says Ray. “It’s a return to practical, in-your-face horror filmmaking.”
The original film introduced its killer pumpkinhead scarecrow as he was summoned on Halloween night to seek vengeance on behalf of a warlock. The new trailer continues the Halloween murder and dark wizardry exploits.
Genre stalwarts Sybil Danning (Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf), Richard Gabai (Demon Wind), Sushii Xhyvette Holder (Naked Cannibal Campers), Martin Nicholas (The Alien Dead), and Annah Arias star.
“My passion springs from the heyday of the 1970s drive-in movie theater where I thrilled to great homegrown exploitation movies like Slithis, Death Curse of Tartu , and Gator Bait,” noted Ray. “When I began my career, it was in movies like Shock Waves and my swamp epic The Alien Dead starring serial legend Buster Crabbe. I have long awaited a return to the genre I love so much, and now Jack-O 2 is my chance.”
Ray will produce alongside Sean Donohue, with original Jack-O director Steve Latshaw and exploitation maven William Grefé (Mako: The Jaws of Death) executive producing.
There’s no official release date yet, so stay tuned.
