Filming is underway for Kai E. Bogatzki‘s second feature film The Behemoth. Bogatzki wrote the script and will also direct and edit the film, which is a piece of gruesome cosmic horror about cultists, blood, and the fate of humanity.
Read the full synopsis:
Ryan and Rebecca are on holiday in the mountains. They check into an Airbnb flat that belongs to Christine. Suddenly, a mysterious sect called “The Servants of Blood”, led by their priest Malek, appears in the mountain village. Their goal is to revive an ancient god through which humanity will die out and “The Servants of Blood” will come to eternal life.
Get a first look at the film in our exclusive images:
Bogatzki said about The Behemoth, “I see the film as a mix of classic H.P. Lovecraft elements and modern horror like Evil Dead (2013) or Evil Dead Rise.”
Ryan Wichert (The Queen’s Gambit), Sarah Dawes (Shadow Peak), Johnny Vivash (How to Kill Monsters), Beatrice Fletcher (Croc!), Max Evans (Blood Feast), and Wilfried Capet (Blood Feast) star in the film.
German grandmaster Philipp Ratgeber will do all the film’s special effects. Ratgeber previously collaborated with Bogatzki on Bogatzki’s feature film debut, Scars of Xavier.
Shooting for The Behemoth is underway. Stay tuned to Dread Central for more updates about this project as we have them!
