Get ready for another serving of musical horror comedy, as Troma is cooking up a sequel to Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

Poultrygeist 2: The Henpire Strikes Back will be written and directed by Mercedes the Muse, who helmed Troma’s upcoming Rise of the Super Tromettes.

Andrew L. Miller is producing, with Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman (who directed the first Poultrygeist) and Michael Herz serving as executive producers.

The post V/H/S Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

Today a new promo poster for V/H/S, a horror anthology featuring horror shorts from directors Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way to Die), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead), Radio Silence (a group of directors including Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, and Chad Villella), David Bruckner (The Signal), Joe Swanberg, and Ti West (The Innkeepers, The House of the Devil), has been released.

In the film a group of criminals are hired to break into a country home and retrieve a mysterious video tape. Every tape that they watch is more evil and sinister than the one before. The found footage style shows well so far in the V/H/S trailer. It sounded like a simple job but upon entering the house, they find a rotting corpse next to the huge assortment of scary videos. You have to see the trailer as it may be the scariest trailer of 2012 so far.

Directed by: Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence. Writers: Simon Barrett, David Bruckner, Nicholas Tecosky, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Simon Barrett, Joe Swanberg, and Radio Silence. Cast: Calvin Reeder, Helen Rogers, Sophia Takal, Hannah Fierman, Jason Yachanin, Lane Hughes, Mike Donlan, Joe Sykes, Drew Sawyer, Jas Sams, Joe Swanberg, Kate Lyn Sheil, and Drew Moerlein. Tagline: "This collection is killer." V/H/S is the latest production to be distributed by The Collective. This is a distribution company that has brought horror film fans Atrocious (2010) and The Woman (2011). Their latest is a found footage horror anthology composed of six short films. Chillerama (2011) is another memorable horror anthology that focused on sexual humour. Here, the film focuses more on extreme horror. There is a lot of gore in this piece, nudity and even some comedy. And like most anthologies, some of the shorts work, while others simply.

V/H/S acquired by Magnolia Pictures. V/H/S‘ North American distribution rights have been acquired by Magnolia Pictures for $1 Million for its genre appendage Magnet Releasing to unleash on multiple formats.
