Epic Pictures and Dread have now unleashed the hair-raising horror film Devour. Directed by Scott B. Hansen and co-written by Desiree Hansen, this unhinged supernatural horror feature mixes heavy metal riffs, neck-snapping vampires, flesh-munching cannibals, a furry werewolf, and a rogue warlock into one chaotic nightmare!
Heavy Metal and Mad Monsters
The story follows an all-female heavy metal band stranded in the middle of nowhere after a disastrous gig. Their evening quickly turns apocalyptic when they attempt to rescue a distressed stranger along the road. As a result, the rescue inadvertently traps the musicians in a remote town ruled by a dark warlock. Surrounded by supernatural predators, they must unleash their own dark magic to shred their way out before sunrise.
Old-School Practical Creature Effects
Rather than relying on digital visual effects, the production brings its creatures to life through practical prosthetics and animatronics. FX artist Wayne Anderson collaborated with the OX FX crew to build physical beasts that shared actual set space with the actors. With director Scott B. Hansen’s extensive music video background, the film creates a visceral world where metal culture and creature features collide head-on.
Cast and Festival Success
The gorefest stars KateLynn E. Newberry, Gus Langley, Alex Lucchesi, Chelsea LeSage, Gaven Wilde, and Butcher Babies frontwoman Heidi Shepherd. Before its official release, the feature earned over a dozen festival selections and several prestigious awards. That includes Best Feature, Best Director, and Best Vampire Feature at the Freakshow Horror Film Festival.
Get ready for metal, monsters, and mayhem; Devour is out now on VOD and Digital on services like Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Prime Video.
