I haven’t even seen Doomsday yet and already I am looking forward to director Neil Marshall’s next pic. The lads over at BloodyDisgusting tapped into an article from Variety where Marshall talks about his next project Sacrilege, greenlit by Rogue Studios. Giddy-up cause Marshall’s going back to the Old West and he wants it to be horrific! 

“It is set during the Gold Rush, a time remembered for incidents like the Donner Party… It is meant to be a pitch-black, gritty, period horror movie… This is ‘Unforgiven’ by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before,” Marshall said.

The western horror is an untapped genre so there is no fear of it being over done and tired. The possibilities are virtually endless right now. This is a fresh field ripe for the tilling. Take a moment to glance at an account of this so-called Donner Party incident as well and this gives you an idea where Marshall’s head may be at as he approaches the script. Tastes like chicken!
