Everybody loves Space-Horror. Everybody loves anthologies. Ever wonder why the world never produced a genius capable of saying to themselves, "you know what, we need to make a space-horror anthology flick!" Yeah, so, if you ever caught yourself wondering just that, wonder no longer as it seems someone has finally stepped up to the intergalactic plate. Huzzah!
The creators of the anthology film MINUTES PAST MIDNIGHT just announced the release of their second anthology flick, the sci-fi/horror themed GALAXY OF HORRORS. The film, which consists of 8 stories, will play limited theatrical in early March, hit VOD across North America on March 7th, and then come to Blu-Ray & DVD on May 2nd.
The synopsis is as follows:
“Trapped in a damaged cryogenic pod, a man is forced to watch a series of horrific science-fiction tales while his life support systems run out. Featuring eight intense stories of the unknown and otherworldly, equally wonderful and terrifying. Curated from Rue Morgue & Unstable Ground's Little Terrors Festival.”
GALAXY OF HORRORS features 8 stories from international directors Todd Cobery, Javier Chillon, Richard Karpala, Andrew Desmond, Benni Diez, Marinko Spahic, Dennis Cabella, Marcello Ercole, Fabio Prati, Antonio Padovan and Ethan Shaftel. A wrap-around story, directed by McConnell, ties the film together. The anthology is produced, in part, by Rue Morgue Magazine, and is the brain-child of Justin McConnell, and Avi Federgreen.
I say the trailer looks awesome, and the poster looks like it would fit quite nicely up on the shelf of my old video store, back in the day. Bright lime-green "Horror" tag hastily slapped across the worn VHS coverbox and all. Not that I have had the chance to see the flick yet, but something tells me I would have loved this back in my childhood.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
