The indie creature feature was shot entirely on 16mm film.

Writer/director Richard Terrasi sent along the exclusive stills and behind-the-scenes pics seen above and below from his new movie SHADOW REAPER. Terrasi also produced with Kevin Losani (who served as cinematographer and co-stars) and created the practical special effects with Megan Reed. The cast additionally includes Atlas Xavior, Apollo Michael, Michael Widger and Tim Whalen. The synopsis: “William Bradshaw and his film crew embark on a journey to the town of Devensville, Indiana in search of clues of a series of mysterious murders that has took place over a span of 200 years and its roots to the legend of the Shadow Reaper. His search ended in tragedy!”

SHADOW REAPER will play as a virtual selection as part of the upcoming Panic Fest, available to stream on April 3; go here for more information.
