Ahead of its August 8 theatrical release and VOD launch on August 12, scarecrow slasher Die'ced: Reloaded gets a grisly new trailer today from Epic Pictures’ horror label Dread.
Directed and written by Jeremy Rudd, based on his 2023 viral short Die’ced, 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).
Set in 1980s Seattle, Die’ced: Reloaded centers on Benny, a notorious serial killer who flees an asylum on Halloween with the help of a scarecrow mask to begin a trail of carnage. It becomes clear that Benny is hunting a young woman who has unknowingly become his fixation.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, who debuted the Die’ced: Reloaded trailer earlier today, Rudd says:
“I’m excited to bring audiences back to the gritty nostalgia of classic ’80s and ’90s slasher horror while blending it with modern horror […] I can’t wait for everyone to meet our final girl, Cassandra, and our soon-to-be iconic villain, Benny.”
Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald adds:
“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. 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.”
