MVD Entertainment Group has released a fun trailer for their upcoming retro horror-comedy MAX RELOAD AND THE NETHER BLASTERS, which you can see at the top of the article. Here's the official synopsis:
When small-town video game store clerk Max Jenkins (Tom Plumley) discovers and plays the only known copy of Nether Dungeon, the legendary lost installment of the Nether Game series, he accidentally unleashes the ancient "Curse of The Ages," turning friends and family into possessed ghouls hell-bent on destroying civilization. It's up to Max and his best friends Reggie (Joey Morgan) and Liz (Hassie Harrison) along with old-school gaming gurus Eugene Wylder (Greg Grunberg) and Barton Grabowski (Joseph D. Reitman) to figure out how to beat the dark forces of The Nether before it's GAME OVER for humanity.
Looks fun to me! While obviously low-budget, it appears to at least be having fun with itself, and sometimes that's all you need.
Meanwhile, MAX RELOAD AND THE NETHER BLASTERS – written/directed by Scott Conditt & Jeremy Tremp and starring Tom Plumley, Hassie Harrison, Joey Morgan, Lukas Gage, Joseph D. Reitman, Richard Lippert, and Greg Grunberg with Kevin Smith, Lin Shaye, Martin Kove, Jesse Kove, and featuring the voice of Wil Wheaton – will hit theaters August 7th, then to VOD August 11th.
