If you've been hungry for another Simon Pegg / Nick Frost movie after their co-starring roles in Edgar Wright's "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End), then you can now add Slaughterhouse Rulez to your watch list. A new horror comedy that re-teams Pegg with director Crispian Mills (A Fantastic Fear of Everything), Slaughterhouse Rulez also co-stars Frost and features what could be a portal to Hell in the film's official trailer.
Directed by Crispian Mills from a screenplay co-written by himself and Henry Fitzherbert, Slaughterhouse Rulez stars Asa Butterfield, Finn Cole, Hermione Corfield, Michael Sheen, Nick Frost, and Simon Pegg. Sony Pictures will release Slaughterhouse Rulez in the UK on Halloween, but a US release date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details.
Synopsis: "Welcome to Slaughterhouse, an elite boarding school where boys and girls are groomed for power and greatness...and they’re about to meet their match. This ancient and ordered world is about to be shaken to its foundations - literally - when a controversial frack site on prized school woodland causes seismic tremors, a mysterious sinkhole, and an unspeakable horror to be unleashed. Soon a new pecking order will be established as the pupils and teachers alike become locked in a bloody battle for survival…"
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
