Die’ced as a short horror film certainly made its mark in the horror community. With creative kills and an unstoppable silent murderer, people want to see more of the slasher films reminiscent of Friday the 13^th or Halloween movies.

It’s up to director Jeremy Rudd to expand his 45-minute film into a full-length feature film that can mark the start of a franchise with Die’ced: Reloaded.

The film stars Eden Campbell (Fear Street: Part Two – 1978, They Reach, Z Nation), Jason Brooks (The Death of Snow White, Die’ced, Friday the 13^th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines), and Nigel Vona (The Chronicles of Riddick, Chaos, Arrow).

Here is the official synopsis:

Seattle, Halloween night, 1987. Benny—an infamous serial killer long thought contained—breaks free from a high-security asylum, reborn behind a twisted scarecrow mask. As he leaves a trail of carnage across the suburbs, whispers of his gruesome past resurface, fueling panic in a city soaked in neon and fear. But Benny isn’t just killing for pleasure—he’s hunting someone. A young woman unknowingly tied to the darkest chapter of his madness becomes his fixation, and the closer he gets, the bloodier it gets. Die’ced: Reloaded delivers a brutal, synth-directed slasher soaked in 1980s nostalgia, where Benny carves his place in horror history—one body at a time.
