Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution
expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has tabbed Oct. 29 as the street
date for both DVD and Blu-ray editions of writer/director Brad Sykes’ outer space thriller, Plaguers:
10th Anniversary Edition.
The Pandora is returning to Earth, the captain is
dead and the ship’s cargo is something that should have been left where it was
found, the blob-like thing known as Thanatos. Somehow the crew will sell the thing (some mumbo-jumbo about a source of
unlimited energy), profit from it and the death of their captain will be
quickly forgotten. Just get back to
Earth!!
A simple plan, but when the derelict Diana sends out
a distress call, the acting captain of the Pandora, Darian Holloway (Alexis
Zibolis — The Da Vinci Treasure, Mouthpiece,
etc.), diverts course to attempt a rescue and her and her crew get quite the
surprise and the prospects of returning to Earth grow dim. Four sexy “nurses,” in cheerleader-like
outfits, are the only survivors of a space pirate attack!!
Before you can say “ahoy, matey,” or “shiver me
timbers!,” or something else pirate-appropriate, the crew of the Pandora
discovers that the sexy wenches, led by Kyra (Noelle Perris), are in fact the
pirates. Well there’s booty aplenty
aboard the Pandora and when one of these sweet young things tampers with the Thanatos
she is splattered with a green ooze that mutates her into a pirate zombie.
It doesn’t take long for both the crew of the
Pandora, including their “synthetic human,” Tarver (played by Steve Railsback),
and the remaining three mini-skirt clad pirates, to unite in common
purpose.
But one by one they too become zombies! Who will be the final girl — Kyra or
Darian? Yes, Plaguers has
all of the elements of a slasher-in-space thriller, with the Pandora acting as a
haunted house in space and the crew and pirates the victim pool.
Plaguers is
great fun!! As to bonus goodies, we
have filmmaker Brad Sykes and producer Josepina Sykes providing two commentary
options … one with and one without actor Steve Railsback. Plus there is a behind-the-scenes
documentary titled “Scares in Space” and a Q&A session with the cast and
crew.
