We haven’t had a fun disaster movie in a long time. Gone are the days of THE TOWERING INFERNO or EARTHQUAKE. In recent years, the disaster movies have been more fact-based like THE IMPOSSIBLE or action epics like THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. What we need is a good, gory disaster movie. In comes Eli Roth and director Nicolas Lopez with AFTERSHOCK.
Last year we got the green band trailer for the movie starring and produced by Roth. It was good, but you could see where it was cut to not show the hardcore elements in the film. Now, this red band trailer removes any filters and is awash in boobs, butts, and blood. Check out the red band trailer which is NSFW.
A f*cking tsunami? Nice touch. Not only do these survivors have to deal with earthquakes and escaped convicts but now an inescapable ocean wave?
Here’s the synopsis.
In Chile, a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub when a massive earthquake hits quickly learn that reaching the surface is just the beginning of their nightmare.
AFTERSHOCK hits theaters on May 10, 2013 and should be a fun diversion for fans of genre alternatives this summer.
