Based on 2023 viral short Die’ced, 80s-inspired horror Die'ced: Reloaded hits select theaters on August 8 with a VOD release to follow on August 12, and we'd like to introduce you to the slasher's masked maniac in our exclusive clip.
Directed and written by Jeremy Rudd, the gritty slasher from Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label DREAD 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…
In a director's statement, Rudd expressed his excitement about fleshing out the world of Die'ced: Reloaded:
“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: Reloadedis 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.”
Check out our exclusive Die'ced: Reloaded clip below and make sure you carve out space to meet Benny on August 8 or August 12…
