Director Says He’s Working On ‘Beyond the Gates’ Sequel; Plot Details
Who’s ready to head back to the ’80s?
There are so many horror movies released every year that it’s simply impossible to watch every single one of them in a timely fashion. One of the ones released last year that I’ve been excited to see but haven’t yet had the chance to check out is writer/director Jackson Stewart’s Beyond the Gates, which stars Barbara Crampton and draws upon heaps of glorious ’80s nostalgia.
Our own Kalyn Corrigan loved the film, calling it a “wickedly fun little trip down memory lane, back to the good ‘ol days of ’80s cult classics like The Gate, The Beyond, and Re-Animator.”
Did you see it? Did you have a blast with it? Are you ready for a sequel? Speaking with the podcast Scream Addicts, Stewart just revealed that he’s currently working on the script!
I am writing a sequel to Beyond the Gates, which will definitely take some cues from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. It’s a little bit of a different story and kind of changes up some things. It’s definitely bigger scale, and a little bit more in the vein of the ’80s paranoia horror movies like The Stuff and Society, and even the ’70s Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It would be focusing on John from the previous movie. He has a new girlfriend in the mix; probably going to be [played by] Alex Essoe or Jocelin Donahue, someone cool like that.
In the first film, “two estranged brothers reunite seven months after their father’s disappearance to liquidate his anemic video store. While there, they unearth an old VCR board game that acts as an inter-dimensional hub to a nightmare world where their Father’s soul is trapped and can only be saved by playing the game. The film is an adventure horror that pays loving tribute to the VHS format, video stores, and board games of the era.”
Jessica Chastain stars in the upcoming horror movie Other Mommy, and the film’s official MPA rating has arrived ahead of its release in theaters this coming Halloween season.
Other Mommy is Rated R for “some bloody violence, and language.”
From director Rob Savage (Host), Other Mommy is an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s (Bird Box) novel Incidents Around the House, and it’s in theaters October 9 from Universal.
Watch the official Other Mommy trailer below to begin this domestic nightmare.
From producer James Wan, one of the most influential architects of modern horror, and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, behind Backrooms and Obsession, comes a terrifying trip from breakout genre director Rob Savage, into the darkening world of a young girl, Bela, who forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home who looks uncannily like her own mother.
Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain (It Chapter Two, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) stars in dual roles as Bela’s mother and as “Other Mommy,” a manifestation of the entity.
Jay Duplass (Transparent, Industry) plays Daddo, Bela’s father, and Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle) plays Bela. The impressive supporting cast includes Actor Award nominee Dichen Lachman (Severance), Emmy and Tony Award nominee Arian Moayed (Succession) and screen legend Karen Allen (Indiana Jones).
Other Mommy is directed by Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) from a screenplay by WGA award winner Nathan Elston, writer for the Emmy-winning sensation Succession, based on the New York Times bestselling novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
