Marcel Walz’s (Brute 1976) directed the gory 80s slasher from a script by Joe Knetter (Twilight of the Dead).
Producers are Tobias Schuermann and Dirk Schuermann.
Said Ray Murray, President of Cinephobia Releasing, “The horrific killings by an especially deranged family continue in this deliriously crazed follow-up to Brute 1976. Director Marcel Walz, writer Joe Knetter and their team have done it again by delivering a delirious hatchet-wielding, blood spurting, breast bared, glam rock spattering feast of horror. After watching Brute 1986, I couldn’t look at my spandex pants, leather jacket and vials of glitter the same way again.”

Added Walz, “I’m an ’80s baby- actually, a 1986 baby. I grew up obsessed with ’80s horror classics like Halloween III, Friday the 13th Part VI, Sleepaway Camp II, The Burning, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, and so many more. It’s my favorite decade (alongside the ’90s), and when we decided to make this movie, I knew we had to go all in.”
Continued Knetter, “I grew up loving the films and music of the 80s, so getting an opportunity to create something that fits in that space has been an amazing experience. We had so much fun with this one and think the audience will see that on screen. Hair metal and gore… what could be better?”
Hair metal and gore…all any of us ever need for a good time.
A release in the US is expected closely following Brute 1986‘s festival debut.
