With its world premiere at Frightfest only a couple of weeks away, the first teaser trailer for How to Kill Monsters is now available for everyone to watch. For full transparency, I supported the film's Kickstarter campaign because I was so impressed with their campaign trailer, but I haven't see the film yet and I'm as excited as everyone else to check out all of the practical effects and gallons of fake blood!
"The sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre must team up with a rag-tag bunch of rookie cops and lawbreakers to fight off an invasion of monsters from another dimension.
With a menagerie of monsters realised entirely with practical effects and buckets of fake blood and guts thrown in for good measure, HOW TO KILL MONSTERS will scratch the itch of horror fans craving a throwback popcorn horror movie that delivers thrills, kills and laughs in equal measure."
Director Stewart Sparke declares How to Kill Monsters “a love letter to the 80s and 90s horror movies that I grew up watching on VHS.” With the trailer showing clear influences from classics like Evil Dead 2, Gremlins and Hellraiser, Stewart promises that the movie will inject “a dash of British humour in the vein of Hot Fuzz and the self-aware twists and turns of Scream to deliver genre fans a blood-soaked popcorn horror movie that feels both nostalgic and fresh.”
How to Kill Monsters is directed by Stewart Sparke, who co-wrote the screenplay with Paul Butler and is produced by Cal O’Connell. The film is a co-production between Dark Rift Horror and RO Pictures, and stars Lyndsey Craine (Book of Monsters, Eating Miss Campbell), Arron Dennis (Zomblogalypse, Book of Monsters), Fenfen Huang (Now You See Me 2, Operation Red Sea), Daniel Thrace (The Creature Below, Blood Myth), Michaela Longden (Jack in the Box: Awakening, The Ghost Within) and Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser, Nightbreed).
