Dark Star Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for The A-Frame<\/strong>, a goopy sci-fi horror movie that experiments with a new dimension poised to unleash unspeakable horror.<\/p>\n

The sci-fi thriller hits theaters on July 25<\/strong>, followed by a Digital release on August 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In The A-Frame, \u201cA quantum physicist develops a machine that creates a tunnel to a sub-atomic parallel universe. In his quest to prove the machine\u2019s efficacy, he inadvertently discovers an unorthodox cancer treatment when transporting lab rats interdimensionally. He now recruits human subjects to legitimize his efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The setup for writer\/director\u00a0Calvin Lee Reeder\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> dark, goopy sci-fi horror comedy\u00a0The A-Frame<\/strong> adheres to the time-honored tradition of ambitious scientists unleashing grotesque horrors when dabbling with unknown realities beyond our own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnny Whitworth<\/strong> (Empire Records,\u00a0Limitless),\u00a0Nik Dodani<\/strong> (The Parenting), and\u00a0Dana Namerode<\/strong> (What Josiah Saw) star in The A-Frame.<\/p>\n

Reeder\u2019s film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. I wrote in my review<\/a>, \u201cReeder focuses on character work first and foremost to ensure its final punchline lands- and it does. But when Reeder does let the horror loose, the practical effects more than\u00a0make up for the wait.\u00a0The A-Frame\u00a0brings the appropriate level of viscera, slime, and goop. The A-Frame doesn\u2019t quite do enough to avoid direct comparisons to films like\u00a0The Fly or\u00a0From Beyond, but it is a quick, mean, and gruesome morality play with a perfect ending that\u2019ll leave you in stitches or reaching for the barf bag. Likely both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps more importantly, it\u2019s a goopy, gory sci-fi horror movie that employs practical effects. \u201cWe never saw this film without some practical elements,\u201d Reeder previously told BD<\/a>. \u201cI would also say that our VFX digital elements are working in perfect unison with them, so we\u00a0really\u00a0rely on both heavily, and that\u2019s always how I feel like you get the best result. But yes, practical, as long as we can continue to get away with it as filmmakers, before AI steals everything from us, but for now we want to hire as much practical effects and put that in front of the audience. The audience deserves it, but the audience also deserves really cool VFX, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the trippy new trailer below withholds the gory surprises, the film\u2019s poster calibrates expectations for a fun Cronenbergian film ahead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
