A New V/H/S Sequel Announced and it Will Focus on Sci-Fi This Time
Another sequel to the V/H/S horror anthology film franchise has been announced, and the announcement comes after the release of V/H/S/85 on Shudder. The producers are going to change things up with this next movie, though, as it will put a focus on sci-fi. The new movie will include five "bloodcurdling tapes, placing horror at the forefront of a sci-fi-inspired hellscape."
Shudder made the announcement over the weekend at its New York Comic Con panel. Head of AMC Networks' Film Group Scott Shooman said:
"The V/H/S franchise has been terrifying and entertaining audiences for over a decade now thanks to the work of some of the genre's most gifted filmmakers. Following the massive success of V/H/S/85 and its previous installments on Shudder, it's clear that the filmmaking team won't be running out of unique ideas anytime soon. We're thrilled that the franchise is going in a bold, new direction that will surprise fans and newcomers alike, and demonstrate the innovative capabilities of sci-fi within the world of V/H/S."
Producer Josh Goldbloom added:
"Jason Voorhees, Leprechaun, Pinhead, Dracula, even the Amityville Horror house ended up in space, so as we move into our own Part 7 it was only natural that we should too," producer Josh Goldbloom added. "The sci-fi horror genre provides us an infinite playground of forbidden worlds and dangerous lifeforms, a formula which we're confident will lead to the biggest, maddest, bloodiest V/H/S ever."
President of Scripted Content at Studio71 Michael Schreiber shared:
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Shudder on a groundbreaking new V/H/S film! The V/H/S franchise has become a cornerstone of the horror genre that provides an unfiltered platform for filmmakers to push boundaries and tell innovative stories.”
The next V/H/S will be produced by Goldbloom for Cinepocalypse in addition to Brad Miska and James Harris (47 Meters Down) along with executive producers Michael Schreiber and Adam Boorstin for Studio71.
