Welcome to another horror round-up! To get your week started on the right foot, we have the first look at Judith O'Dea reprising her role as Barbra in the unofficial Night of the Living Dead sequel, Genesis, details on The Final Reel, the upcoming directorial debut from Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, and a look at a new Puppet Master poster from Grey Matter Art.
Night of the Living Dead: Genesis: Since George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is considered public domain, an unofficial sequel on the film is in the works, titled Night of the Living Dead: Genesis, in which Judith O'Dea steps back into the role of Barbra, giving us an idea of what happened to her after she was pulled through that doorway over 45 years ago. We have an image of O'Dea in the film below.
"Night of the Living Dead: Genesis will pay homage to the timeless classic while expanding upon its storyline to explore more of the night when the dead began to rise."
Directed by Matt Cloude off a screenplay he co-wrote with Wil Smith, Night of the Living Dead: Genesis stars Judith O'Dea, Sarah Snyder, Mike Lord, David Witt, Brenleigh Rigsbee, Cyrus Samson, Christy Johnson, David Crawford, Alexander Elliott, Jim Krut, Mike Christopher, Heidi Hinzman, John Migliore.
