This may be an unpopular opinion, but there was a solid 3 years where the 8 Films to Die For were a highlight of my year. Sure, the quality of the releases varied wildly, but there were some real gems in there. I was a sad little horror fan when “event” was cancelled several years ago. Luckily, horror has a weird way of making the old feel new again. After Dark Films and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have apparently reached an agreement where we will see 8 Films to Die For return to limited theaters with a brand new slate of horror flicks as early as October 15th.

I’m SO EXCITED!! Here are the films announced thus far:

Re-Kill

It’s been five years since the outbreak that wiped out 85% of the world’s population, but the war between Re-Animates (Re-Ans) and Humans wages on, as most of the major cities are still uninhabitable. Within the few surviving cities, the Re-Ans have been segregated into “zones” and are policed by the R-Division of the QUASI S.W.A.T. Unit, who hunt to re-kill the Re-Ans in the hope of quelling a second outbreak.

Murder in the Dark

When a group of young people camping in the ruins of a medieval Turkish town play a party game called ‘Murder in the Dark’, they soon discover that someone is taking the game too far… Produced in an experimental shooting style, this murder-mystery features a cast of actors who were not allowed to see the script. The actors’ choices interactively changed the shape of the story. They had to use clues to solve the mystery laid out before them by the filmmakers.

We’ll absolutely be keeping you up to date on new films as they are announced, so stay tuned.
