First look at BAMPIRE, a Bambi-inspired horror film described as “Evil Dead 2 meets who framed Roger Rabbit”

There’s another one Bambi-horror movie coming out, and this one is called Bampire. This is a horror comedy that will pay homage to the slasher films made in the 80s and 90s. We have our first look at the film, which launched on Indiegogo.

The film is directed by Taylor Morden (The latest success) and written by Zoe Wassmanwho described the film as “Picture Dead evil 2 meet Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

The film is said to feature “harrowing live action performances, hand-drawn animation by Josh Stifter (A24 and Kevin Smith’S Tusk), practical blood from the award-winning FX artist Trysta Kelleya clay sequence from the effects supervisor Webster Colcord (Stranger Things, Planet of the Apes, Deadpool, Planet of Terror), and even diegetic VHS footage from an in-world camera.

Morden says: “We still have a long way to go to finish this film. Crowdfunding is a great way to raise support for an independent production like Bampire and to spread the word about how amazing this movie will be. Bampire is a wild project! You’ve never seen anything like it!”

Wassman adds, “Bampire is definitely the craziest movie we’ve ever attempted to produce at our budget level, but we believed it was a story worth telling. I still do it. For all of us, Bampire is a labor of love; for each other, for the ability to create the work of art we like to create and for the true heart of the work itself.”

Bampire will include appearances by Diane Franklin (Better dead, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure), Greg Sestero (The room, The disaster artist) and that of Troma Lloyd Kaufmannthe creator of The toxic avenger.

The film’s cast includes Katie Gibbons (Blind duet, take a walk), Jeff Brosy (Animal house), Malachite Saaquya, Weston Oliver, Parra Melody (Nena, Devotion), Jacob Rayl (It will all be fine), Levee Duplay (Operation Speranza, a bird’s eye view) AND Paul Addison (The Killing of Billy the Kid).

The crowdfunding campaign will last until April 12, and the film is scheduled for release in October 2024. You’ll also find some footage from the film in its Indiegogo campaign.
