“BLUE LIGHT,” based on true events, reveals cast and sets sales premiere

Though one of the actresses is named “Crystal Lake,” the movie’s threat is paranormal and not a slasher.

Film Mode Entertainment has announced that BLUE LIGHT is making its market premiere at the American Film Market, which begins today, following its world premiere at FrightFest’s two-day Halloween event this past weekend in London. Directed by Andy Fickman, who has previously explored the lighter side of the genre with films like RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and both HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL and REEFER MADNESS: THE MOVIE MUSICAL, BLUE LIGHT stars Bella DeLong, Amber Janea, Daryl Tofa, Ana Zambrana, Crystal Lake Evans, Jarrett Brown, John Bucy and Finley Rose Slater. According to the PR, “BLUE LIGHT is a horror film based on true and terrifying unexplained events. The film follows a group of friends on a road trip who soon realize something terrifying and unworldly is threatening their lives.”

“I cannot wait for audiences across the world to go on the BLUE LIGHT journey with us,” Fickman says. “Inspired by a real-life terrifying incident in my own life, we searched for seven amazing actors to bring this story to life and never imagined we would find such perfect actors on and off screen. They have elevated the material to a whole new level.” Reportedly, both a sequel and prequel to BLUE LIGHT are currently in the works.
