A Sequel to 1984’s Cult Favorite, ‘The Mutilator’ to Star ‘The Strangers’ Damian Maffei
1984’s The Mutilator still holds up to this day. The ultra-violent slasher features one of the most savage kills in horror history, depending which version of the film you are watching. All these years later, we are going to receive a direct sequel to the original.
Director, Buddy Cooper is going to helm the project that brings horror stars Damian Maffei and Terry Kiser to the second chapter. Those names should sound familiar since Maffei starred in The Strangers: Pray at Night and Kiser starred in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
“I had four copies of The Mutilator (including a heavily edited family-friendly version!) and a promotional standee as a kid, so to be joining this sequel, working with Bud Cooper, some of the original returning cast, and jumping back in to raise some hell with Terry… it’s surreal. I am beyond excited.” Maffei said in an interview with Mad Monster.
The synopsis for The Mutilator went like this:
Years after the accidental death of his wife, a deranged man (Jack Chatham) starts to slice and dice his son’s (Matt Mitler) friends at a beachfront condominium.
Mad Monster also reports that original Mutilator stars Ruth Martinez and Bill Hitchcock will return for the sequel.
The Mutilator’s follow up will begin filming in 2022.
