Vampires Rule The 80’s in New Music Video

Published

on

Vampires eat up the city in a new 80s-inspired music video from Justified Films called Bright Lights, Dark Shadows. 

Set to the tune of the synth-pulsing song “All Night” by Tokyo Rose featuring LeBrock and Ultraboss, the video follows the plight of a man (Sean Gloria) who has caught the eye of a sexy goth babe at a bar.

She isn’t shy about getting her fangs into him during a night of passion and now he is driven by a thirst for blood and must feed on strangers himself.

Enter an imposing drifter played by Paul Wilson carrying a large firearm with a laser sight. He’s on a mission to rid the world of the undead one bullet at a time.

Ryan Justice (Followers) directs this neon-infused video that’s revives everything that made 80s VHS horror movies so great. It feels like The Hunger meets Miami Vice.

That vibe is also thanks to Tokyo Rose’s song throughout the film which plays like an ethereal electronica dream circa 1984.

The marriage of the two mediums makes for a moody experience drenched in retro-box art and nostalgia.

“I’m a huge fan of the 80s,” says Justice. “This project is a huge homage to both cinematic styles of Tony Scott & Joel Schumacher. Also, we took great influence from 80s writers Bret Easton Ellis (Less Than Zero, American Pyscho) and Jay McInerney (Bright Lights, Big City).”

“Most of my projects take place around the 80s,” he adds. “I’m sort of obsessed and I want my stories to take place there. If all goes well my next feature film will be a thriller taking place in the summer of ‘86.”

Rock Music & Goopy Practical Effects in ‘Destroy All Neighbors’ Trailer

Published

on

The heart of rock and roll is still beating in the Shudder original Destroy All Neighbors. Over-the-top practical effects are also alive in this release coming to the platform on January 12. The streamer released the official trailer and it has some pretty big names behind it.

Directed by Josh Forbes the movie stars Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Alex Winter, and Kiran Deol.

Rodrigues plays William Brown, “a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad (Alex Winter). Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla. Destroy All Neighbors is a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and LOTS of blood.”

Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think!

A Boy Band Kills Our Favorite Reindeer in “I Think I Killed Rudolph”

Published

on

The new movie There’s Something in the Barn seems like a tongue-in-cheek holiday horror movie. It’s like Gremlins but bloodier and with gnomes. Now there is a song on the soundtrack that captures the humor and horror of the movie called I Think I Killed Rudolph.

The ditty is a collab between two Norwegian boy bands: Subwoofer and A1.

Subwoofer was s Eurovision entrant in 2022. A1 is a popular act from the same country. Together they killed poor Rudolph in a hit-and-run. The humorous song is a part of the film which follows a family fulfilling their dream, “of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in the mountains of Norway.” Of course, the title gives away the rest of the movie and it turns into a home invasion — or — a gnome invasion.

There’s Something in the Barn releases in cinemas and On Demand December 1.
