Porn-themed Horror Comedy ‘Deep Murder’ Gets a Legit Cast

Published

on

Much like sports, porn and horror don’t really mesh well, which is probably why porn-centric genre films always end up on home video. But when was the last time we saw one that had a really good cast?

Deep Murder, Nick Corirossi’s horror comedy set inside the world of soft-core pornography, has landed Christopher McDonald, Katie Aselton Duplass, Johnny Simmons and Stephanie Drake, Variety reports.

It follows a group of porn stars and filmmakers who start getting picked off by a masked killer.

According to the logline the characters originally come off as sex-obsessed archetypes but begin to evolve from cliches into real people as they are forced to figure out how to survive. It’s compared to raunchy comedies and Zucker brothers’ pictures like Naked Gun and Airplane.

McDonald is best known for playing Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore. Aselton Duplass is one of the stars of FX’s “The League” and the comic book drama “Legion”. Simmons’ credits include 21 Jump Street, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Drake is best known for playing Meredith, Don Draper’s bubbly assistant on “Mad Men.”

The cast also includes Jessica Parker Kennedy (“Black Sails”) and Chris Redd (“Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping”).

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.

“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”

Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
