Cameras Roll On Michael Pereira’s “The Chamber of Terror”

Earlier this month, cameras started rolling in Toronto on THE CHAMBER OF TERROR, the debut feature from Michael Pereira!

THE CHAMBER OF TERROR is a horror comedy where one man’s mission of vengeance against a crime family unwittingly leads to a collision course with something far more sinister. Timothy Paul McCarthy (Psycho Goreman, ABCs of Death 2) reprises his role as tough everyman, Nash Caruthers, who was originally brought to life in director Michael Pereira’s cult short films Deathbox, Zandavi Lives, and the Toronto After Dark film festival bumper, Nash Caruthers. The film also stars Jessica Vano (The Demolisher, Deadsight) and Ry Barrett (The Heretics, The Hoard) Award-winning cinematographer Michael Jari Davidson (SuperGrid, Berkshire County) has been brought on to lens the film. Pereira promises that THE CHAMBER OF TERROR will be a “splatter-packed fun romp.”

Fans can check out Pereira’s shorts on his YouTube page, and keep up with the production of THE CHAMBER OF TERROR on Instagram and Facebook
