After carving themselves a niche in the excellent found footage haunted house feature Grave Encounters, The Vicious Brothers are back with Extraterrestrial, a cabin in the woods horror film that quickly moves to outer space. The film turns the most popular conception of extraterrestrial life – the gray aliens seen in films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind – into the stuff of nightmares.
It’s a pretty impressive-looking production, which is why we’re especially excited to share this CraveOnline exclusive behind the scenes feature about the making of Extraterrestrial. This eight-minute feature includes interviews with The Vicious Brothers about the origin of the film, the special effects used to create the aliens, the design of the alien mothership, the ever-popular anal probes and the final shot of the movie that took six months to complete.
Extraterrestrial, starring Brittany Allen (“Defiance”), Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), Melanie Papalia (“Suits”), Jesse Moss (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil), Anja Savcic (I Love You, Beth Cooper), Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps), Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption) and Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers), is now available on VOD.
See Extraterrestrial in theaters on November 21, 2014.
From the Press Release:
From The Vicious Brothers, the creators of Grave Encounters comes a different kind of encounter, one of ‘EXTRATERRESTRIAL’ origin. Still reeling from her parents’ divorce, April (Daytime Emmy winner, Brittany Allen) is dragged back to the vacation cabin she spent fond summers at as a child accompanied by a group of friends. Her trip down memory lane takes a dramatic and terrifying turn when a fireball descends from the sky and explodes in the nearby woods. Lead by her boyfriend, played by Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter & The Half Blooded Prince, Pitch Perfect), the group venture out toward the crash site and discover the remnants of a ship from another planet along with footprints that suggest its alien occupants are still alive. The college friends soon find themselves caught in the middle of something bigger and more terrifying than anything they could ever imagine.
