Kevin Williamson’s Scream really did manage to change the entirety of the slasher genre. His next film is called Sick and it is going for the pandemic, slasher-horror approach. It has all the hallmarks of a good slasher along with timely bits of the current COVID situation. Today we got our first look at an image from the film.
The synopsis for Sick goes like this:
“Due to the pandemic, Parker and her best friend decide to quarantine at the family lake house alone or so they think.”
Williamson has gone a long way in the slasher genre and has been attached to I Know What You Did Last Summer among a few other memorable slashers.
Sick has been selected to be part of the Toronto International Film Festival for this year. So, if you are going to be in attendance there, this is your chance to check out Williamson’s latest early.
This year TIFF runs from September 8 – 18. Williamson should also be in attendance.
The synopsis for Scream went like this:
Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts – but the victims aren’t always the ones you’d expect.
