Published

on

Eli Roth (Hostel, The Last Exorcism) travels to Chile with friends Ariel Levy (Promedio Rojo) and Nicolás Martínez for what they believe will be the trip of a lifetime. Instead, they are suddenly plunged into a living hell when a powerful earthquake rips through the coastal town of Valparaíso, Chile in the fast-paced, thriller Aftershock, debuting on Blu-ray and DVD on August 6th from Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS-TWC.

Aftershock story was co-written by Nicolás López & Eli Roth and directed by Nicolás López.

Blu-ray and DVD bonus materials include: Shaking Up the Casting Process, The Making of Aftershock and International Feature Commentary with Eli Roth and Director Nicolás López.

Chile has it all: gorgeous landscapes, smokin’ hot babes, cool dudes and the wildest parties. For an American tourist, nicknamed Gringo (Eli Roth) by his two Chilean pals Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martínez), the trip has been heaven on earth-except that he just can’t hook up with the ladies. Gringo’s luck seems to change when the group meets a trio of babes: Russian model Irina (Natasha Yarovenko), non-stop party girl Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) and her serious sister Monica (Andrea Osvárt). A night at the hottest local dance club turns into a night of terror and panic when a violent earthquake brings down paradise. Our unlucky heroes must run for their lives from looters, escaped convicts, and the inevitable aftershocks.

The film’s screenplay was co-written by Nicolás López & Eli Roth & Guillermo Amoedo and directed by Nicolás López. The film was produced by Eli Roth, Miguel Asensio Llamas and Brian Oliver and executive produced by Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, Mac Cappuccino, Helen Cappuccino, Nicolás López and James Holt.

Published

on

Sequel Mortal Kombat II is now available to watch at home on Digital before heading to physical media in July, but you can test your might now and watch the opening scene.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm for the new sequel from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).

In Mortal Kombat II, the fan-favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

Watch the opening below, which introduces a young Kitana (Sophia Xu) as Emperor Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford) prepares to conquer her father, King Jerrod (Desmond Chiam), and her kingdom of Edenia. It sets the sequel’s entire plot in motion.

From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
