Get a peek at the creation of the slasher flick’s copious splatter.
Just in time for Friday the 13th, the producers of the holiday horror movie NEW FEARS EVE gave us an exclusive look at part of the behind-the-scenes material that will be seen on the Indiegogo Blu-ray. The film, now streaming on multiple platforms, was directed by P.J. Starks and Eric Huskisson from Starks’ script and produced by the duo with Jeffrey Reddick, Dave Sheridan and Felissa Rose, who also co-star. The cast additionally includes Lily-Claire Harvey, Turner Vaughn, Matthew Tichenor, Jay Woolston, Alyssa Rhoads, Sonya DeLormier, Cody Webb, Roni Jonah, Hannah Fierman (V/H/S) and Jesse McDonald as the murderous Doctor; Stephen J. Hooke, Blaze Bolden and Isa Blair Morales created the special effects. The synopsis: “As the coming year approaches, three best friends reluctantly prepare for Hooper Industries’ annual New Year’s Eve bash. The clock ticks down and the body count rises as a psychotic murderer known as The Doctor is on the loose. This sadistic surgeon of death leaves Owensboro covered in blood as local police and FBI are forced to navigate through a maze of bodies left in his wake. Unbeknownst to the three best friends, their mandatory party is about to turn deadly when the killer sets his sights on them. December 31 becomes a party to die for when Leslie, Brian, Moses and their colleagues are trapped inside an inescapable building with a bloodthirsty madman hell bent on carving his way to midnight.”
