A serial killer’s legacy leads to new terror in the film releasing this fall.
Dark Star Pictures has announced that it will release MEGALOMANIAC to theaters September 8. Written and directed by Karim Ouelhaj and winner of the Grand Jury Best Film award at the Fantasia International Film Festival (among other fest honors), it stars Eline Schumacher, Wim Willaert, Benjamin Ramon, Pierre Nisse and Raphaëlle Lubansu. The synopsis: “Martha [Schumacher] and Félix [Ramon] are the children of the Butcher of Mons, a notorious Belgian serial killer from the 1990s. Unstable and riddled with insecurities, Martha lives vicariously through social media. Her brother, crushed by the family legacy, takes over their father’s killings. Harassed and violently assaulted at work, the docile Martha falls into madness and goes through the looking glass into the strange and terrifying world inhabited by her brother.” Dark Star’s trailer and poster for MEGALOMANIAC will drop soon!
