The Graves new poster

Has it really been about four months since we’ve discussed Brian Pudilo’s THE GRAVES, which we know will be part of After Dark’s 2010 slate of 8 Films To Die For? Jeez, that’s way too long, don’t you think (or may not think if you’ve read our man Jimmy O’s review).

Well check it. We now have an official one-sheet for the film, which as you can see above, features half of a woman’s face – her eyes welling, her nose, lips and cheeks serving as good old fly paper. And yet with all that shit on her grill (yes, literal shit), I’m strangely aroused. Must be the mid-shift loneliness!

Anyway, if you don’t recall the premise of the film, we pick up when:

Two inseparable sister’s visit a remote mine town that turns into a mind-bending fight for survival against menaces both human and supernatural.

You sold on that? Me neither. Let’s dredge further:

Megan and Abby happen on Skull City Mine, a weather-beaten, abandoned mine town converted into a self-guided tour. But Skull City harbors terrible, vexing secrets. It appears to be haunted. Its caretakers are murderous. Victims’ souls are ripped from their bodies right before their eyes, and that’s only the beginning. When Megan suffers a near mortal wound, Abby must save her sister, but to do so, she must unlock the mystery of Skull City alone. Can Abby defeat the threats of Skull City and rescue Megan or are they doomed like all the other tourists before them?

That I’ll take!

Starring two of our favorite horror-heads, Bill Moseley and Tonny Todd, Pudilo surrounds the two with Jillian Murray, Amanda Wyss, Clare Grant (below), Patti Tindall, Randy Blythe and Cathy Rankin.

Open THE GRAVES on January 29th, 2010.
