A real horror feature, shot on a real medieval ruin in the Wetterau.
Practical effects. Real prosthetics. Real blood.
We need real faces.
In September 2026, Uwe Boll shoots a horror feature at Burgruine Münzenberg — the twin-towered Romanesque castle built under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in the 12th century, ruined in the Thirty Years' War, still standing on its hill above the Wetterau plain.
The script is locked. The cast is set. The dead are coming back.
We won't tell you the plot. We will tell you this: it begins with a festival. It ends with something the audience won't see coming. In between is ninety pages of the kind of practical horror that hasn't been made since Sam Raimi, Stuart Gordon and Peter Jackson were still making it themselves.
Practical effects throughout the kills — real prosthetics, real foam latex, real corn syrup. Every drop of blood you see on screen is poured by hand on the day.
For the rave sequences, the riot, and the final descent — we need 200 real people in the crowd. Not actors. Not extras hired by an agency. People. Festival kids. Burners. LARPers. Anyone with a face the camera wants to find.
Most of those spots are free. A small number are paid — a way to commit to a close-up, an actor credit, and a different kind of evening. Both routes are below.
Built around 1162 by Kuno von Münzenberg under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. The ruin sits on its hill above the medieval town of Münzenberg, 30 kilometres north of Frankfurt. Twin Romanesque keeps, curtain walls, residential ruins, palas. Most of it climbable. Most of it on camera.
Locals call it the Wetterauer Tintenfass — the Wetterau Inkwell — for the silhouette of its two round towers. Destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. One of the most important high-medieval castles in Germany. It has never been used like this before.
We have the castle for six days in September 2026 — 04.09 to 09.09. It will not be open to the public during the shoot.

The kills, wounds, and blood are built by hand. Foam latex. Silicone appliances. Corn syrup. Air-pressure rigs. If you see it bleed on set, it's real on the day.
Plan to be there for the long haul — call time is afternoon, wrap is late. Most of it is standing, dancing, or running. Pace yourself.
It's September on a German hill. Could be sunny, could be wet, could be neither. You never know. Bring layers and shoes that work in rain.
