Ghost House Underground gets "Reeker" sequel




According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ghost House Underground, the new direct-to-DVD offshoot of Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert's Ghost House Pictures, has acquired the rights to Dave Payne's No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker.

The film is a sequel to the 2005 release Reeker and continues the story of a distinctly supernatural killer traveling between the world of the living and the dead, collecting victims.

The original was a lot of fun except when it devolved too much into a frenzy of montages showing the victims right before their deaths, during which the film became a muddled, almost indecipherable messs.

Let's hope the sequel cleans up its act in that regard because if it does, No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker could be a great little gem of a horror film.

No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker hits DVD in October via Lionsgate.
