Image Entertainment has announced the acquisition of the film “Chillerama,” a film that is being called “the ultimate midnight movie.” According to the press release, the plans for the film include “a theatrical and potential ‘road show’ release in early fall,” with a VOD and DVD release later in the year.
“This title is a nightmare come true for anyone who loves horror films, twisted humor, and skilled film making,” said Bill Bromiley, Image Entertainment’s Chief Acquisition Officer. “‘Chillerama,’ and its foursome of fierce film makers, presents a bloody-good cinematic love letter to fans.”
“The four directors of ‘Chillerama’ are as much fans of horror film as they are filmmakers,” said Mark Ward, Vice President of Acquisitions of Image Entertainment. “I’m thrilled that Image is partnered with them to bring this very special film to audiences everywhere.”
The film is produced by ArieScope Pictures and will be in the vein of “omnibus” films like “Tales from the Crypt,” “Creepshow” and “Twilight Zone: The Movie” with four fun B horror stories:
With titles like “Wadzilla,” “I Was A Teenage Werebear,” The Diary of Anne Frankenstein,” and “Zom-B-Movie,” CHILLERAMA features appearances by Joel David Moore (Avatar, Hatchet), Lin Shaye (Insidious), Ray Wise (X-Men: First Class), Kane Hodder (Hatchet and Hatchet II), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, Sharktopus) and more cameos than one can (body)count. From the depraved minds of directors Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City, The Dark Backward), Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood), Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen), and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Knights of Badassdom), CHILLERAMA is a festival of gore, guts, goofiness and good times.
It’s the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle, Bridesmaids, Hatchet) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?
