Brodie is back in Jason Lei Howden’s Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon, and he wants to get the band back together in the brand new trailer.

The only problem? Most of his bandmates are dead after the events of 2015’s Deathgasm.

Milo Cawthorne is back as unwitting hero Brodie, who’s had a rough go since thwarting a heavy metal apocalypse in the last film. Brodie is mourning the death of his psychopathic best friend, is unemployed, and has been dumped by his girlfriend, Medina (Kimberley Crossman). Naturally, he turns to black magic to revive his glory days.

In the sequel, “A few years after surviving the last demon apocalypse, Brodie is washed-up, broke, and stuck in small-town purgatory. But when he learns that NoizeQuest, a battle-of-the-bands competition, is coming to his town, he sees a shot at redemption – and maybe even a second chance with Medina. One problem: his drummer is missing an arm, and the rest of his band is, well… dead. Luckily, Brodie still has the pages of The Black Hymn, so raising his bandmates from the great beyond is just a riff away. But with every chord comes blood, guts, and the kind of apocalyptic chaos only Deathgasm can unleash..”

Also back are James Joshua Blake as Zakk, Sam Berkley, and Daniel Cresswell. The sequel also introduces us to new characters played by Kieran Charnock, Harrison Keefe, and Maggie Nicole Robertson.

Metal musician Matthew Kiichi Heafy, of Grammy-nominated metal band Trivium, composed the film’s original score.

Howden wrote and directed the sequel.

Howden promises “Deathgasm II: Goremageddon is a face-melting splatterfest made for the misfits, the freaks, the outcasts, the headbangers, and the gorehounds. In a world divided, heavy metal and horror fans are an international family united by our passion for extreme entertainment. Deathgasm II is one big, brutal ‘HORNS UP’ to that family. We cranked out the most skull-shattering metal soundtrack in movie history, with tracks from Anvil, Sanguisugabogg, Skinless, Alien Weaponry, Frozen Soul, Havok, and motherflippin’ GWAR!”

New Zealand producer Nick Garrett added, “Deathgasm II: Goremaggedon is for the fans, and not just because they helped pay for it. In these turbulent times it is important that audiences have access to pure, unapologetic, escapist entertainment. It’s a party movie, pure and simple, made to be watched with mates, mayhem, and at maximum volume. I cannot wait to see how fans of the original – and the new ones we’re about to drag into chaos – respond.”

Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon is set to make its world premiere later this week at Fantastic Fest. 

Stay tuned for release details.

In addition to the two Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey slasher movies, the twisted childhood universe known as the “Poohniverse” also includes the recently released Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, and up next is Pinocchio: Unstrung.

Horror legend Robert Englund will voice Jiminy Cricket in the film, and the “Poohniverse” team has shared two images this week that give us a look at the character design.

If you’re thinking this particular version of Jiminy Cricket looks a tad bit like another iconic character that Robert Englund is known for playing, well, that’s probably not an accident!

Rhys Frake-Waterfield is directing the upcoming Pinocchio horror movie for Jagged Edge Productions, with makeup FX legend Todd Masters (Child’s Play, Underworld Awakening, Slither) tasked with creating the film’s sinister Pinocchio doll via practical effects.

Frake-Waterfield tells BD, “The film will embrace practical effects at every opportunity, ranging from the doll itself to the title card of the film. Having a budget significantly higher than my last film, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, I’m aiming to make this the definitive Pinocchio horror film and my best movie to date.”

Richard Brake (3 from Hell) will be starring as puppet master Geppetto.

Cameron Bell, Jessica Balmer, Jack Art Gray and Peter De Souza-Feighoney also star in horror movie Pinocchio: Unstrung, which is expected to come to life sometime next year.

The various films in this “Twisted Childhood Universe” are all building towards Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, which will also feature Pinocchio amongst the deadly gang.
