Ab-normal Beauty
Andreas Prochaska’s sequel to his hit Austrian slasher film Dead In Three Days went before the cameras just under two weeks ago now and imagery is already starting to arrive online thanks to the film’s regularly updated MySpace page. There are multiple image galleries available there, ranging from pre-production prep work to behind the scenes shots to actual shots from the film itself and they all look fantastic. The original film succeeded thanks to a very solid young cast - the survivors of whom are back for this installment - and the incredibly effective use of the region’s stunning landscapes to create something distinctly Austrian even while it drew on American slasher conventions and this looks every bit as strong.
In the summer after Nina¹s graduation, her life changed forever. Three of her best friends became victims of a psychopath, herself and her best friend Mona just barely escaping death. Nina has now only one wish: to forget. She leaves her home town, breaks off all contacts and moves to Vienna to start a new life.
Now, a year and a half later, only terrible nightmares remind her of the past. A disturbing and terrified call in the middle of the night from Mona, breaks her exile. Thinking it another dream, she tries to contact Mona, but she seems to have disappeared. Her cell phone number no longer exists, and the gas station which Mona¹s father had run has mysteriously closed down. The only remaining trace of her friend leads to Tyrol, to Mona¹s place of birth, and finally, to a lonely inn in the snow-covered mountains. The villagers avoid the place. They don¹t like the inn-keepers and numerous rumours circulate about the woman living there with her three grown sons. Despite all warnings, Nina heads for the mountains alone. It¹s her only chance of finding her best friend. However, what Nina finds at the inn is far more terrifying than the rumours suggest, plunging her into a new terror amid the inhospitable freezing snowscapes of the Austrian mountains.
