Video game adaptation It Came from the Desert gets a new trailer

November 1, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Following its UK premiere at FrightFest, a new trailer has arrived online for director Marko Mäkilaakso’s upcoming comedy horror It Came From the Desert. Inspired by the cult 1989 video game from Cinemaware, the film stars Mark Arnold, Harry Lister Smith, Vanessa Grasse, Alec Mills, and Callum McGowan; check it out below…

Inspired by Cinemaware’s cult 1980s video game, itself motivated by the giant creature feature craze infesting 1950s Hollywood, get ready for the pulp action horror mutant monster movie of the year! It’s a terribly tall tale involving rival motocross heroes and cocooned heroines, out-of-control kegger parties in the New Mexico desert, crashed meteors from outer space, secret underground labyrinth military bases, romantic insecurities …and epic havoc caused by massive spider/ant hybrids! Smartly scripted, extremely funny and very creepy, with terrific special effects in homage to Ray Harryhausen, get with the OTT deadpan delivery and the Project T.H.E.M. program.
