FREAKED’s Alex Winter is back in heavy prosthetics for this rock ’n’ roll horror/comedy.

DESTROY ALL NEIGHBORS makes its streaming premiere on Shudder January 12. Directed by Josh Forbes and scripted by Charles Pieper and Jared Logan, from a story by Pieper and Mike Benner, it also stars Jonah Ray Rodrigues (MST3K, SATANIC HISPANICS), Kiran Deol, Jon Daly, Christian Calloway, Randee Heller, DeMorge Brown, Thomas Lennon and Kumail Nanjiani, with makeup effects by Gabe Bartalos. The synopsis: “William Brown [Rodrigues], a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad [Winter]. Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla. DESTROY ALL NEIGHBORS is a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and lots of blood.”
