The jungle. Beautiful. Lush. Dangerous. Every year, new species of creatures are discovered within the world’s jungles, just as others become extinct. On November 21st, Anchor Bay Entertainment will release Slayer - a story of a company of soldiers sent on a mission into the South American jungle where they discover a new breed of vampire, deadly by day as well as by night.
Written and directed by Kevin VanHook (Voodoo Moon, The Fallen Ones, The Damned) and starring Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers, Sleepy Hollow) and Jennifer O’Dell (“CSI: Miami,” “The Closer,” “Nip/Tuck”), Slayer is a terrifying update on the vampire legend and with an suggested retail price of $19.98 that won’t leave your wallet drained.
Slayer begins when a peace-keeping army is dispatched to a remote jungle in South America to investigate a series of horrific attacks. Headed by Captain Tom ‘Hawk’ Hawkins (Van Dien) and his second-in-command Grieves (Kevin Grevioux – Underworld, “Angel”, Bowfinger), the squad finds itself in a deadly confrontation with a nest of vampires impervious to daylight. And these vampires are growing in number, for they have gone beyond preying on the local villagers. Now they are directing their thirst towards Hawk’s fellow officers, intent on absorbing their military knowledge for their own bloody campaign!
Slayer co-stars Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman”, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” Sky High), cult movie favorite Danny Trejo (The Devil’s Rejects, All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos) and former Miss Puerto Rico Joyce Giraud (“Joey”, Dude, Where’s My Car?) – and look for Kevin VanHook’s son, Cameron, as one of the vampires!
Filmed on location in Puerto Rico, including the famous Rio Camuy Caves, Slayer presents an epic battle between the living and the undead against a suitably savage landscape. With its unique interpretation of one of horror’s most popular legends, anyone with a stake in vampires will want to take a bite out of Slayer!
The Slayer DVD also hosts a slew of sinister supplements including:
Widescreen presentation (1.78:1), enhanced for 16x9 televisions
