The sci-fi shocker will be unveiled next month.

Filmmaker Brian Avenet-Bradley sent along word that his new film THE PROTOS EXPERIMENT, which he directed with Laurence Avenet-Bradley and scripted with horror novelist Simon Clark, will have its festival premiere at San Francisco’s Another Hole In the Head on Saturday, December 14. The fest’s full schedule will be posted today at its official website. The latest genre feature from the creators of ECHOES OF FEAR, DARK REMAINS and others stars Anja Akstin, Fred Thomas Jr., Ricky Herrera, Trista Robinson, Corey Landis and Micheal Ferguson star. The synopsis: “Kyra and John wake in a strange prison… They’re not alone. They discover they are chained and are utterly vulnerable in the presence of nightmarish, prowling figures controlled by unseen captors. Soon, both are plunged into a terrifying and dangerous struggle where they can trust no one, not even their own fragmented memories. Somehow, they must evade the Protos and then escape their cruel master–or risk losing their minds forever.”

A novelization by Clark is now available; see details on that here. Go here for exclusive comments on the movie (under its original title PROTOS).
