Pics & Update on Sykes' "PLAGUERS"
Sykes dropped DreadCentral a line with updates, including the first look at the film's poster, and a boatload of new stills that make up for the fact that, honestly, the poster's not so great.He also delivered the good news that "PLAGUERS" just got accepted into Spain's Estepona Fantasy & Horror Film Festival, which is being hosted by Spanish legend Paul Naschy. The official Plaguers site is fully functioning now as well, so be sure to check it out when you're not “working”.
"PLAGUERS" stars Steve Railsback in a story about an alien virus that is set loose on a spacecraft, turning everyone it comes in contact with into raging, demonic creatures. Now the crew has to put an end to the virus before the ship makes it back to Earth.
Check out the new pics below, and stay tuned for more "PLAGUERS" updates as they come in!
Synopsis : The year: 2241. The transport vessel PANDORA hurtles through space, bringing an alien energy source known as "Thanatos" to fuel-starved planet Earth. The Pandora's six-person crew is headed by CAPTAIN HOLLOWAY, a tough, no-nonsense woman, recently promoted after the untimely death of former captain, and her fiancee, RUBINI. Some of the crew are suspicious of Thanatos, which almost seems to have a life of its own.
A few thousand miles from Earth, the Pandora receives a distress signal from the DIANA, a derelict spacecraft. Against the crew's wishes, Holloway decides to investigate. The ship first appears eerily vacant, until the surprise appearance of four beautiful women, all nurses on their way to a new medical facility, the only survivors of a vicious pirate attack.
It doesn't take long before the "nurses" reveal their true nature: THEY are the space pirates, and they immediately begin taking over the Pandora, seducing and capturing the crew. In the melee, Thanatos is ruptured, spewing noxious green fluid all over one of the pirates. She begins to physically mutate, her features growing monstrous as she becomes a bloodthirsty PLAGUER!
One by one, the Pandora crew and pirates fall victim to the virus, as they are attacked and then reborn as demonic, ravenous creatures. Meanwhile, Thanatos grows stronger and begins to control the ship, sending it on a dead-set voyage toward Earth. Time is running out, and the pirates and crew must reluctantly join forces if they are going to survive. The only way to stop the contagion is to destroy Thanatos - but how?
