You’ve seen one slasher movie, you’ve seen them all, right? Wrong!
The makers of the forthcoming UK indie film The Blade Cuts Deeper are planning to change all that, with a fresh and fearsome take on the genre – with their gore-soaked, Giallo-inspired story of a widower out for revenge, against the maker a lurid true-crime webs series who has made a mockery of his wife’s death.
With a professional cast, some truly gruesome kill scenes, and a tense, taut storyline, The Blade Cuts Deeper promises to be a memorable, no-nonsense treat for horror fans, and is notable for being the first Liverpool-based slasher horror ever!
The Blade Cuts Deeper is directed Gene Dolders, who penned the script with comic writer A J Ballard (Slaughterhouse Farm, Slaughterhouse-Z). Having previously collaborated together on the Fulci-inspired short film Death Is Not A Whisper, the pair – irritated by the turgid, murder-by-numbers format of contemporary slashers – are striking back with their own unique, atmospheric and unforgivingly brutal horror movie.
With two-thirds of the filming completed, they now need your help to get the final part in the can. Head over to the Kickstarter page to have a look at the project and choose one of the superb perks on offer – including a chance to visit the set in the northwest of England, or even nab a bloodied prop from the film.
The campaign runs until the end of March – so do your bit to support homegrown UK horror – otherwise, who knows, you might find yourself in cruel assassin The Widowmaker’s crosshairs, and we wouldn’t want that now, would we!
