First still from The Butcher Brothers’ The Thompsons: The Hamiltons 2

Filming is finally underway on THE THOMPSONS, The Butcher Brothers’ follow-up to their 2006 After Dark Horrorfest title THE HAMILTONS. The first still has made its way online courtesy of BD; check it out below. Here is the synopsis:

In the sequel, a bloodbath at a gas station in the desert puts the family on the run, eventually seeing them resurface in the U.K. under a new identity as “The Thompsons.” Desperate for protection in this unfamiliar country, the Thompsons seek out the help of a shadowy underground rumored to be sympathetic to vampires.

Original cast members Cory Knauf, Samuel Child, Joseph McKelheer and Mackenzie Firgens (below) are reprising their roles as blood suckers, with newcomer Ryan Hartwig playing the youngest member of the family. The film is directed by The Butcher Brothers, who co-wrote the script with Knauf. Film Harvest and Snowfort Pictures are behind the project.
