Mayhem Film Festival have made their first three film announcements, we get a UK premiere (I haven't seen the anime it's adapting but I think it will be a good watch), a zombie musical (yes please!), and an anthology movie (I'm a sucker for a horror anthology & the teaser images look dark with great visuals).
Below is the official announcement and some teaser images for each movie respectively. I for one am excited, early bird passes are still available at www.mayhemfilmfestival.com for the festival on 11th-14th October.
"With its 14th edition now just a few of
months away, Mayhem Film Festival is proud to announce the first three titles
from its 2018 programme.
Mayhem will host the UK Premiere of Shinsuke Sato's Inuyashiki.
A turbo-charged live action adaptation of the best-selling sci-fi manga
series, Inuyashiki follows a downtrodden middle-aged man and
an isolated teenager reborn as indestructible cyborgs after an apparent alien
encounter. But whilst one uses his powers for good, the other seeks to wreak
murderous havoc on humanity.
Also in this year's line-up is the British zombie musical taking international horror film festivals by storm, Anna and the Apocalypse. When the zombie apocalypse hits the sleepy town of Little Haven, Anna and her friends must brutally battle - as well as sing and dance - their way to safety with an ever-growing horde of the undead in relentless pursuit. It's a 'High School Musical Of The Living Dead' - yes really.
Concluding Mayhem's first round of announcements, the
festival will screen the folklore-inspired horror anthology The Field
Guide to Evil. From the creators of the cult classic The ABCs
of Death, the film sees eight of the finest international directors –
including Agnieszka Smoczyńska (The Lure) and Peter Strickland (Berberian
Sound Studio) – explore the universal nature of human fear with stories
inspired by myths, legends, and strange tales from around the world."
