Chilling ‘Pet Sematary’ Clip Returns from the Grave [Exclusive]
Paramount Pictures has sent Bloody Disgusting this exclusive clip from Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s Pet Sematary (read our review), which returns from the sour ground on April 5, 2019.
Thanks to a traumatic childhood involving the devastating illness of her sister Zelda (Alyssa Brooke Levine), Rachel Creed (Amy Seimetz) has a deep-seated aversion to the subject of death. Not only is she forced to confront her fears in the most vicious of ways when her husband Louis (Jason Clarke) makes a fateful choice fueled by grief, but her own life may be on the line when her darkest nightmares become reality. It’s made worse with the realization that she’s alone in the chaos.
This chilling moment is only the beginning of the horror ahead…
Meagan Navarro attended this past weekend’s World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival and explained that the film layer in an unexpected level of dark humor, which “helps when the horror sinks to visceral, singular levels of edge-of-your-seat terror.”
Based on the novel by Stephen King, “Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, who, after relocating with his wife Rachel and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.”
Out today in select theaters and on digital platforms is heartfelt and playful documentary Mockbuster, which sees a director cold call a studio and ask to helm a lost-world dinosaur epic.
Inexplicably, they say yes.
Our exclusive clip below highlights both the comedic nature of this bizarre scenario as well as the pressures of shooting dino feature The Land That Time Forgot in a mere six days, with no real feature experience.
A dino attack scene causes friction on set in this scene.
In the documentary, “A struggling filmmaker’s opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado’s notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a ‘mockbuster.’ With six days, a micro budget, and mounting pressure, Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition.”
More than just an inside look at filmmaking via low-budget film studio The Asylum, it doubles as one man’s pursuit of his dreams to charming, humorous effect.
“Mockbuster is a documentary about my own journey, but it’s also a love letter to one of the last grindhouses still functioning in Hollywood. We get to meet the characters and creators of some of the most infamous (and most hated) B-movies of the last few decades. People who make movies purely for profit – no pretension, no artistry, just monsters, C-listers, and chaos. A film that both genre fans and cinephiles can enjoy. But Mockbuster isn’t just about filmmaking, it’s about losing sight of your dreams, and reclaiming them in your own twisted way,” Director Anthony Frith said in a statement.
From Executive Producer and famed documentarian David Farrier, Mockbuster opens in select theaters and on digital platforms beginning July 10.
