New Trailer For The Devil's Carnival Gives Us A Plot (Kind Of)

We've already been given a brief set tour of Darren Lynn Bousman's new film The Devil's Carnival by Youtube personality and actress Hannah Minx, but now a full trailer has become available as well. The film is about three people who enter a big, colourful interpretation of Hell as a carnival with Lucifer as the ringleader. At fifty-five minutes long (divided into three acts), the film seems as though it will better resemble a trilogy of short films combined into one mini-feature, but we'll have to wait for the April 5th premiere to find out more.

I personally think it looks a bit pants, though that's mainly because I'm not a big fan of Terrance Zdunich's music or acting. From the soundbites in the trailer, it seems that his performance will be quite similar to his role as the Graverobber in Repo! The Genetic Opera, where he had a tendency to lean towards the wrong kind of overacting. With the songs, there also seems to be a return of the somewhat unimaginative lyricism and poor pacing that plagued Repo. On the other hand, Sean Patrick Flanery is almost enough of a temptation all by himself, and with a cast rounded out by the likes of Bill Moseley and Emilie Autumn there's enough here to merit giving the film at least one watch.

If you're a fan of Repo! The Genetic Opera then chances are you'll enjoy The Devil's Carnival. Check out the tour dates over at Bloody Disgusting if you live in the US and want to see the live show. There are also plans to release an album with songs from the film.
