It is not uncommon for a director or writer to star in their movie. Death Valley, Matthew Ninaber's new sci-fi horror movie coming to Shudder next month, will feature the writer-director playing the terrifying monster. The trailer has plenty of gory goodness, but also plenty of hat-tips to Alien.
The actor who played the title character in Psycho Goreman directs a cast that also includes his brother and two other people.
Shudder shared the synopsis of the movie, which said that a bioengineer is trapped inside a secret underground facility when a secret experiment goes badly wrong. A terrifying creature of unknown origin can consume what is left of her, if she deploys an emergency distress signal before a fatal decontamination protocol destroys the entire lab. Marshall and Beckett are hired to carry out a covert operation to extract the imprisoned scientist after being alert by the distress beacon. A heavily armed militia ambushes the team after they are deployed to find a way into the compound.
The mercenaries were outnumbered so much that they were forced to fight for their lives in the emergency hatch. With time running out, the team must locate Dr. Chloe while also navigating the underground maze of corridors before they are hunted down one by one.
Alien mashed up with Aliens, but took place in a secret underground lab, and with a competing military outfit to bring even more chaos to all that running-around-and-hiding-from-a-monster business. Definitely promising! Death Valley arrives on December 9.
