Cool Trailer for Side-Scrolling Horror Adventure Film THE WAVES OF MADNESS
I’ve got a pretty cool trailer here for you to watch for a horror adventure film titled The Waves of Madness, and what make this movie so unique is that it’s inspired by the retro side-scrolling video games that we grew up playing.
The Waves of Madness follows “a special agent dispatched to investigate a distress call from a round-the-world cruise. Upon arrival, the agent finds the ship eerily abandoned and haunted by a malevolent force that distorts reality and warps sanity into terror.”
The movie comes from writer and director Jason Trost (The FP series, All Superheroes Must Die), who says “With The Waves of Madness, I wanted to create something that felt like it was from another dimension—a film that combines the nostalgia of old-school horror with the innovation of modern technology. It’s a tribute to the films that shaped me and a statement about where I believe the genre can go.”
While the film is being marketed as the first side-scrolling horror adventure film, The Waves of Madness is also inspired by 1930s monster movies, so that’s a bonus!
Trost stars alongside Ryan Gibson and Tallay Wickham. It will have its world premiere at Nightmares Film Festival in Columbus, Ohio this October before its wider festival run.
The film is scheduled for a release in early 2025 in Australia and New Zealand by Umbrella Entertainment, who are also handling the rest of the world rights.
