How To Kill Monsters in Theaters & Digital 12/6 from Dark Sky Films: "Jamie Lancaster is the sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre at a remote cabin. Claiming that her friends were torn apart by a horrific monster summoned by a ritual gone wrong, she is arrested by the local cops and locked up for a crime she didn't commit.

We soon discover that Jamie’s claims of innocence are all too real when the entire police station is ripped from our reality and thrown into a nightmarish dimension of Lovecraftian monsters hungry for human flesh. Jamie must team up with a bunch of rookie cops and lawbreakers to hack and slash their way through an army of monsters and find a way to get back home before it’s too late!"

Dark Sky Films releases How to Kill Monsters on Digital on December 6, 2024.

Director Stewart Sparke (Book of Monsters) describes How to Kill Monsters as a “love letter to the 80s and 90s horror movies that I grew up watching on VHS.”

Stewart promises that the movie will inject “a dash of British humour in the vein of Hot Fuzz and the self-aware twists and turns of Scream to deliver genre fans a blood-soaked popcorn horror movie that feels both nostalgic and fresh.”

Here’s the official synopsis…

“Jamie Lancaster is the sole survivor of a blood drenched massacre at a remote cabin in the woods.
