The independent slasher film pays homage to the fright flicks of the ’80s and ’90s.
DIRECTOR’S CUT, which we previously told you about (with exclusive photos) here, will be released in select theaters October 31, followed by a VOD debut later in the year. Written and directed by Don Capria, it stars Louis Lombardi (THE SOPRANOS, 24), Tyler Ivey, Danielle Kotch, Greg Poppa, Lucy Hart, Louis Rocky Bacigalupo, Brandy Ochoa, Haley Cassidy and Darrin Hickok, with makeup effects by Brian Spears (BLACKOUT). 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.”
