Wu-Tang: An American Saga and Six Feet Under star Freddy Rodriguez will be leading the cast of Shudder’s found-footage horror anthology film V/H/S/85, Deadline reports. In the film, which premieres at Fantastic Fest next month, Rodriguez portrays Detective Wayne Johnson, a seasoned investigator looking into a string of gruesome murders perpetuated by an elusive serial killer. The actor is also known for his big-screen turns in M. Night Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse, and David Ayers’ Harsh Times.

Also part of the V/H/S/85 ensemble cast are Jordan Belfi, James Ransone, Dani Deetté, Rolando Davila-Beltran, Justen Jones, Marcio Moreno, Ari Gallegos, Forrest Hartl, Duffy McManus, Eric Pierson, Felipe de Lara, Tom Reed and Vivian Morse.

The project is written by Zoe Cooper, Evan Dickson, Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill, Mike P. Nelson, Gigi Saul Guerrero. Directors include David Bruckner, Derrickson, Nelson, Guerrero and Natasha Kermani. V/H/S/85 is produced by Bruckner, Joshua Goldbloom, Brad Miska, Radio Silence, James Harris, Michael Schrieber and Adam Boorstin.

Per Fantastic Fest‘s official description: “A natural disaster leads to a horrifying discovery, shocking terror on a sun-soaked lake, and a performance art piece attempting to contact a new god. How do these ideas relate? Well, you’ll just have to pop V/H/S/85 in the VCR and see for yourself.

The found footage franchise returns to Fantastic Fest with more eldritch beings than you can cram onto a handheld camcorder. This installment features alumni galore as we journey back to the ‘80s for teenage campout shenanigans and newscasts from the pits of indigenous retribution.

Mike P. Nelson explores body horror and right-wing, gun-nut extremism in NO WAKE. Gigi Saul Guerrero brings the horror to a disaster recovery crew in GOD OF DEATH. Natasha Kermani brings us a performance artist whose installation goes wrong in TKNOGD. And finally, Scott Derrickson returns to Fantastic Fest with a disturbing vision of videotaped murders in DREAMKILL. The segments are all tied together with a spooky research study from director David Bruckner.

Get ready for a found footage compilation of disembowelment, clubbing, and dismemberment, just to name a few of the grisly deaths. It’s Reaganomics and imperial disillusionment in the way that only the V/H/S movies can do them — with the fake blood hose nozzle cranked up to the soak setting.”
