New Aubrey Plaza Zombie Film 'Life After Beth' Gets a Trailer

There's a new zombie film coming out in limited release this August 15 and MTV just released a trailer. The ZomRomCom, Life After Beth stars Aubrey Plaza ("Parks and Recreation") as newly dead and hungry, "Beth Slocum," and Dean DeHaan ("The Amazing Spider-Man 2") as her confused boyfriend. The film premiered in at Sundance last January and has received critical acclaim.

The film also stars John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon as Beth's parents, plus Cheryl Hines, Anna Kendrick and Paul Reiser.  Keeping the zombie genre fresh is key but does this fit the bill? Unlike in Warm Bodies where "R" blossoms thanks to love, it appears that Beth starts out looking all fresh after her resurrection but them turns cruddier and more violent. Ahhh relationships...they're even complicated with dead people.

Enjoy the trailer (via Bloody Disgusting) and let us know what you think.

Synopsis:
“Zach is devastated by the unexpected death of his girlfriend, Beth. But when she miraculously comes back to life, Zach takes full advantage of the opportunity to share and experience all the things he regretted not doing with her before. However, the newly returned Beth isn’t quite how he remembered her and, before long, Zach’s whole world takes a turn for the worse.”

New Trailer for Vampire Mockumentary 'What We Do in the Shadows'

Another vampire film? Yes, but this looks fresh and hilarious. "What We Do in the Shadows" is brought to you by Kiwis, Jemaine Clement ("Flight of the Conchords") and Taika Waititi ("Eagle vs. Shark") and we're now getting a first look at this Sundance choice.

This mockumentary follows the trials and tribulations of three vamp flatmates living in Wellington. They're followed around by a documentary crew, and we see first hand what vampire life is like behind the scenes. For example, their struggles getting invited into clubs and trying not to eat the camera crew. We also learn the obvious, "When you're a vampire, you become very sexy." Even if you don't like this genre, the trailer will amuse you so give it a watch (after the jump). There's no release date mentioned but we hope it's soon...it's not like we're going to live forever!

Creepy Trailer for Sundance Entry, 'The Babadook'

This Jennifer Kent written and directed Australian film managed to creep out the critics at Sundance and this trailer will probably do the same to you. "The Babadook" is an imaginary monster that merely lives in a book. Or does it? "It's just a book. It can't hurt you." Okay.

Yes, all children see monsters but certainly not like this one. The synopsis is below and then check out the trailer for this 2014 Sundance entry. Update: Daily Dead is reporting that as of Saturday, January 25, IFC Midnight announced that they have acquired rights to release the movie in the US and Latin America. No word on when it will be available for viewing.

Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her 'out of control' 6 year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called 'The Babadook' turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour, is forced to medicate him. But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.
