One of the things that made werewolf films from the past so great was the practical effects. Unlike CGI, practical fx gave the creatures a more realistic feel. There is real craftsmanship to pfx creatures.
Todd Sheets (Grindsploitation, Hi-8) is returning to the genre with his upcoming film Bonehill Road, which will feature practical fx werewolves. That film, which has a throwback feel, will have no CGI. What makes this even cooler is, not only will it be released on Blu-ray and DVD and other forms of media Bonehill Road will be released on VHS!
“Bonehill Road is an homage to classic monster films like The Howling and An American Werewolf In London. In some ways, it is a throwback to the films we grew up with… the real horror movies that we all love so much, and in another way it is a modern horror flick that uses old school techniques, including Practical Monster Effects. NO CGI at all here. Our goal is to make an exciting, scary monster movie with some really cool werewolves.” Sheets has stated.
The first teaser was unleashed at the beginning of their Indiegogo campaign which is still running. Take a look and grab one of the killer perks. Follow Bonehill Road on Facebook for regular updates.
