The sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre must team up with a rag-tag bunch to defend a police station from an invasion of Lovecraftian monsters in How to Kill Monsters, the latest splatter comedy from the filmmakers that brought you Book of Monsters.
Ahead of the film’s World Premiere at Frightfest in London on August 25, the official teaser trailer for How to Kill Monsters has been unleashed today. You can check it out below.
Director Stewart Sparke (Book of Monsters) declares How to Kill Monsters a “love letter to the 80s and 90s horror movies that I grew up watching on VHS.”
Stewart promises that the movie will inject “a dash of British humour in the vein of Hot Fuzz and the self-aware twists and turns of Scream to deliver genre fans a blood-soaked popcorn horror movie that feels both nostalgic and fresh.”
Here’s the official synopsis…
The sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre must team up with a rag-tag bunch of rookie cops and lawbreakers to defend a police station from an invasion of Lovecraftian monsters from another dimension.
With a menagerie of monsters realised entirely with practical effects and buckets of fake blood and guts thrown in for good measure, How to Kill Monsters will scratch the itch of horror fans craving a throwback popcorn horror movie that delivers thrills, kills and laughs in equal measure.
The movie’s eye-catching new poster art was created by Uncle Frank Productions, whose previous work includes artwork for international home video releases of Terrifier 2 and Resident Evil, as well as Blu-ray artwork for Arrow Video’s release of Dolls, Cellar Dweller, Robot Jox, The Dungeonmaster and Arena.
