Die’ced: Reloaded, a feature reimagining of a viral short film, has landed a theatrical release and has just shared its first trailer. Writer-director Jeremy Rudd’s slasher expands upon the story that began with Rudd’s 2023 viral short, Die’ced.

Set in 1980s Seattle, Die’ced: Reloaded centres on Benny, a notorious serial killer who flees an asylum on Halloween with the help of a scarecrow mask, to begin a trail of carnage. It becomes clear that Benny is hunting a young woman who has unknowingly become his obsession. Th

Eden Campbell (Fear Street: Part Two — 1978), Jason Brooks (The Death of Snow White) and Nigel Vona (The Chronicles of Riddick) star in the feature. Producers on the project include Jeffrey Decker, Chad Ferrin, and Tylor Jones.

“I’m excited to bring audiences back to the gritty nostalgia of classic ’80s and ’90s slasher horror while blending it with modern horror,” says Rudd, via THR. “I can’t wait for everyone to meet our final girl, Cassandra, and our soon-to-be iconic villain, Benny.”

Adds Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald, “When I first saw the original short film by Jeremy Rudd, Die’ced, I knew it had the potential to become something bigger, meaner, bloodier and with an ever more unhinged killer, Benny. Die’ced: Reloaded is exactly that. The team at Epic and Dread are proud to have helped bring this savage vision to life and thrilled to unleash it on horror fans who crave brutal creativity and fearless filmmaking.”

Die’ced: Reloaded will release in cinemas on August 8th, before releasing on VOD on August 12th, via Epic Pictures. Watch the trailer below:
