Epic Pictures’ speciality horror label DREAD has debuted the official trailer for “Die’ced: Reloaded,” which will have a limited theatrical run beginning August 8 ahead of its August 12 debut on video-on-demand (VOD).
“Die’ced: Reloaded” builds up on the story from the 2023 short film “Die’ced” from writer and director Jeremy Rudd. The film follows Benny, an infamous serial killer who escapes an asylum on Halloween night, turning 1980s Seattle into a blood-soaked nightmare while dressed as a scarecrow. As he leaves a trail of carnage across the suburbs, whispers of his gruesome past resurface, fueling panic in a city soaked in neon and fear. But Benny isn’t just killing for pleasure – he’s hunting someone. A young woman unknowingly tied to the darkest chapter of his madness becomes his fixation, and the closer he gets, the bloodier it gets.
“I’m excited to bring audiences back to the gritty nostalgia of classic ’80s and ’90s slasher horror while blending it with modern horror,” says writer/director Jeremy Rudd. “I can’t wait for everyone to meet our final girl, Cassandra, and our soon-to-be iconic villain, Benny.”
“When I first saw the original short film by Jeremy Rudd, ‘Die’ced,’ I knew it had the potential to become something bigger, meaner, bloodier, and with an ever more unhinged killer, Benny,” says Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald. ‘Die’ced: Reloaded’ is exactly that. The team at Epic and Dread are proud to have helped bring this savage vision to life and thrilled to unleash it on horror fans who crave brutal creativity and fearless filmmaking.”
“Die’ced: Reloaded” stars Eden Campbell (“Fear Street: Part Two – 1978”), Jason Brooks (“The Death of Snow White”), and Nigel Vona (“The Chronicles of Riddick”).
