Just like that rippin' clip for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, this trailer for Argentine horror flick Phase 7 leans heavily on an energetic song to sell the cinematic goods.
This time, instead of a pounding Led Zeppelin cover, it's a vintage Stormtroopers of Death instrumental, "March of the S.O.D.," spiked with a bit of President George H.W. Bush's terrifying "new world order" speech.
It's a perfect match for the movie's post-apocalyptic theme (and its parade of biohazard-suited actors). Directed and written by Nicolás Goldbart, Phase 7 stars Daniel Hendler (Lost Embrace) and Jazmín Stuart (The Paranoids).
Here's the synopsis:
"Phase 7 mixes satire, humor, horror and social commentary in a way that reminds viewers of the arch Shaun of the Dead and the savvy claustrophobia of [rec]. In the film, Coco (Hendler) has just moved to a new apartment with his wife Pipi (Stuart), who’s seven months pregnant. At first, they don't seem to notice the growing chaos around them, but when authorities quarantine their building after a deadly pandemic breaks out, Coco joins forces with his off-kilter, but well-prepared and stocked next-door neighbor Horacio to defend his refrigerator and keep Pipi safe. Meanwhile, outside the building, Buenos Aires – and the world as the apartment denizens know it – is disappearing. The world is ending; got ammo?"
Phase 7 will screen at AMC Theatres starting July 13 as part of the Night Terrors series put on by Bloody Disgusting and The Collective.
