The monstrous (and now public-domain) sailor man is poised to begin his rampage.
Gravitas Ventures releases SHIVER ME TIMBERS on digital and cable VOD tomorrow, April 1–and that’s no joke. Paul Stephen Mann wrote and directed the movie, which stars Amy Mackie, Niamh Parrington, Brendan Nelson, Ross Dillon, Leona Roberts, Joel McDade, Yu Heng Li, Stephen Corrall, Paul Dewoney, David Hallows, Murdo Adams, Seb Lord and Anthony Greer. The synopsis: “In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl [Mackie], along with her cinema-obsessed friends and brother Castor [Nelson], embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley’s Comet. But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye [Hallows] into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine [Greer].”
