Things don’t start well and they get a lot worse for the unsuspecting band in this rock ’n’ roll horror film.
DIRECTOR’S CUT opens theatrically in select cities this Halloween Thursday, October 31, with a digital release to follow. Written and directed by Don Capria, it stars Louis Lombardi, Lucy Hart, Danielle Kotch, Tyler Ivey, Haley Cassidy, Louis Rocky Bacigalupo, Brandy Ochoa, Greg Poppa and Darin Hickok, with makeup effects by Brian Spears. The synopsis: “A Long Island punk band meets a mysterious director [Lombardi] through social media who generously offers to shoot their first music video for free. Desperate for fame, they drive deep into the Pennsylvania woods in hopes of making a killer music video. But after a long night of drinking with the gregarious director, the band wakes up to find a very different version of him on set. Egos and opinions clash, with the director unveiling a terrible anger and uncompromising need for total control. As his professionalism breaks down, so does his sanity–with the unhinged director and his assistant turning the band members into the unwitting stars of his very own snuff film.”
