‘For the Sake of Vicious’ Trailer Unleashes a Violent Berserker Brawl

Published

For the Sake of Vicious

For the Sake of Vicious was one of my favorite films from 2020’s Fantasia Festival (you can read my full review here). Co-directors Gabriel Carrer (The Demolisher) and Reese Eveneshen (Defective) — who also served as the film’s production designers, editor, and composer… read our interview here — effectively stir up tension and ramp up the action, pinning you to your seat for the full-on battle royale that takes up the last 40 minutes of the film.

Starring Lora Burke (Poor Agnes), Nick Smyth (Flashpoint), and Colin Paradine (Defective), For the Sake of Vicious follows Romina, an overworked nurse and single mother, who returns home from her late shift on Halloween night to find a maniac hiding out with a bruised and beaten hostage. When an unexpected wave of violent intruders descends upon her home, the trio realize the only way out of the situation is to work together and fight for their survival.

A new trailer has just been released, and it showcases the vicious fury found in the film. For the Sake of Vicious is an incredible home invasion horror and a tight action thriller that — as an added bonus — barrels its way into the category of “films that happen on Halloween”.

Shot over a period of an intensive 15 days in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada (my hometown, fun fact), the film fights tooth and nail. It was shot in a (soon-to-be-demolished) house, and due to the small quarters, there’s a tight intimacy that fuels the fire of each fight (with the actors performing all their own stunts).

At any rate, if you’re curious to check it out for yourself, you can find the new trailer and poster below.

For the Sake of Vicious will be presented in Select Theaters April 16, On Demand April 20, and released on Blu-ray on May 4.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
