Greatest hits hurt a lot, as you can see in the trailer for Murder Ballads: How to Make It in Rock ‘n’ Roll below.
The British indie horror-comedy will be released on VOD on April 15 from The Horror Collective.
Prepare for the rapid rise and violent fall of rock band Stack of Corpses, whose audacious attempt to jump-start their career by stealing another singer’s song leads to bloody and unexpected consequences. The musical journey is told through six chapters that unravel the band’s tumultuous life.
Mitchell Tolliday makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Neil Rickatson, expanding on their 2020 short film Everything Is Going to Be Fine.
Luke de Belder, Rhiann Connor, Fran Mcateer, Imogen Wilde, Alyx Nazir, Lauren Cornelius, Niccy Lin (“You”), and Simon Callow (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Four Weddings and a Funeral) star.
“Murder Ballads is a fast paced, colourful, larger-than-life comedy that goes in some darkly farcical directions,” Tolliday said. “The main characters are all misfits who make increasingly terrible decisions but I think are also endearing in their own way. I wanted to make audiences laugh, wince, and gasp in equal measure.”
Tolliday cites Shaun of the Dead, The Nice Guys, and Green Room among the influences on the project.
