New Teaser Trailer For Eli Roth’s AFTERSHOCK

What happens to a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub in Chile when a massive earthquake hits? Hint: Nothing good! Watch this first teaser for director Nicolás López’s AFTERSHOCK. The only this more terrifying than mother nature… is human nature.

In Chile, an American tourist’s vacation goes from good to great when he meets some beautiful women travellers. But when an earthquake ravages the underground nightclub they are in, a fun night quickly turns to terror. Escaping to the surface is just the beginning as they face the nightmarish chaos above ground.

The film screened in September at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of their Midnight Madness program.

AFTERSHOCK is the unlikely pairing of Chilean director Nicolás López, who burst onto the scene with the geek comedy Promedio rojo, and contemporary horror icon Eli Roth, who co-wrote the script with López as well as starring and serving as producer. Originally planning to pen a sci-fi/horror film together, the project radically changed direction when López shared his own experiences of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that ripped through Chile in 2010, and the ensuing panic and societal breakdown.

Nicolás López has worked as a writer, director, producer and actor. He hosted his own comedy show on MTV (2004). His feature films as director are Promedio rojo 20(04), Santos (08), Fuck My Life (2010) and Fuck My Wedding (2011).

Coming down the pike for Roth is the cannibal film THE GREEN INFERNO and the Dracula movie HARKER. Written by Eli Roth and Nicolás López (@eliroth and @nicolaslopez), AFTERSHOCK hits theaters in 2013.
