How to Kill Monsters will see its World Premiere at FrightFest on 25th August.
Dark Rift Horror and RO Pictures are thrilled to share the blood splattered teaser trailer and stunning new poster art for How to Kill Monsters, a practical FX driven horror comedy movie which will see its World Premiere at FrightFest on 25th August.
Here’s the official synopsis: The sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre must team up with a rag-tag bunch of rookie cops and lawbreakers to defend a police station from an invasion of Lovecraftian 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 (Book of Monsters) 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 humor 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.”
