Terror-Fueled Trailer for Shudder's Horror Film V/H/S/85 Starring Freddy Rodriguez
Shudder has released the first teaser trailer for V/H/S/85, and it teases the crazy bloody terror that is in store for fans. In the film, “an ominous mixtape blends never-before-seen snuff footage with nightmarish newscast and disturbing home video to create a surreal, analog mashup of the forgotten 80s.”
I enjoy these V/H/S horror anthology films, and in this one, Freddy Rodriguez portrays Detective Wayne Johnson, “a seasoned detective investigating a variety of gruesome murders while on the trail of an elusive serial killer.”
V/H/S/85 takes viewers on “a journey into the grim underbelly of the forgotten 1980s. Unveiled through a made-for-TV documentary, five chilling tales emerge: scientists observe an unusual boy fixated on his TV, kids embark on a lake skiing adventure, a TV crew fights to survive a natural disaster, the early days of VR awaken something terrifying, and a deadly dream is captured on tape. Sinister secrets of the 1980s come to life in a way you’ve never seen before.”
Rodriguez (Six Feet Under) is set to lead the cast of the film, and he’s joined by Jordan Belfi, James Ransone, Dani Deetté, Rolando Davila-Beltran, Justen Jones, Marcio Moreno, Ari Gallegos, Forrest Hartl, Duffy McManus, Eric Pierson, Felipe de Lara, Tom Reed and Vivian Morse.
The segments in the film were written by Zoe Cooper, Evan Dickson, Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill, Mike P. Nelson, Gigi Saul Guerrero. The directors include David Bruckner, Derrickson, Nelson, Guerrero and Natasha Kermani. V/H/S/85 is produced by Bruckner, Joshua Goldbloom, Brad Miska, Radio Silence, James Harris, Michael Schrieber and Adam Boorstin.
I haven’t seen much of Rodriquez since he made Six Feet Under, but he most recently starred in the Hulu series Wu-Tang: An American Saga for the show’s final season, and he’s set to appear in the indie film Days When The Rains Came opposite True Blood‘s Sam Trammell and Beau Bridges.
V/H/S/85 premieres on Shudder on October 6th.
