Sink Your Teeth Into A First Look At The Horror-Comedy Vidar The Vampire

Sink your teeth into a first look and the first trailer for the horror-comedy Vidar The Vampire, or VampyrVidar as known in its Norwegian home. Written and directed by Thomas Aske Berg and Fredrik Waldeland, the film stars Henrik Rafaelsen, Kim Sønderholm, and Thomas Aske Berg. From the Press Release: Vidar the Vampire is a Norwegian ultra low budget horror-comedy produced by UFOh! The film is set to premiere at The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund on August 23rd, 2017 and will screen at both Fantasy Filmfest, Germany and FilmQuest, USA in September, 2017. The film is self-financed with a budget totalling approximately USD 60.000. The making of Vidar the Vampire has been an entirely organic process from beginning to end, both by choice and necessity. We started writing the script in 2012, shot and edited a pilot in 2013, went back to the drawing board and rewrote the script over and over from 2013 to 2015. The rest

Writer-director Lowell Dean is back with the next installment of his highly-anticipated horror-comedy WolfCop, simply titled Another WolfCop, which will premiere later this year at Fantastic Fest. In the movie, “Alcoholic werewolf cop Lou Garou springs to action when an eccentric businessman with evil intentions seduces Woodhaven’s residents with a new brewery and hockey team in this outrageous horror-comedy sequel.” Leo Fafard returns to his role as Lou/WolfCop. Amy Matysio will reprise her role of Tina. Jonathan Cherry co-stars alongside Laura Abramsen, Kevin Allardyce, Yannick Bisson, Jeesica Hinkson, Devery Jacobs, and Serena Miller. Keep an eye out, Kevin Smith will be making a cameo in the Canadian indie film. The first film was a hair-raising good time. I’m curious to see what Dean has up his sleeve this time around.
