A new murderous legend is heading for his festival premiere.
Concept Media and Taintbad Productions gave us the first look at the trailer and new poster (by Joel Robinson) for their joint production MR. BUZZKILL, which will premiere at HorrorHound Weekend in March. The directorial debut of effects artist Rob Collins, it was scripted by Collins and Shawn Burkett, director of the DON’T F*CK IN THE WOODS series; Collins, Burkett and the F*CK films’ Chris Gierowski were also among the producers. The cast is headed by Celeste Blandon, Jason Crowe, Kaylee Williams, Brittany Blanton, Payton Pleska, and Burkett in the title role. The synopsis: “On the night of October 30th, 1998, the town of Silver Grove was forever marked by a brutal series of killings. Now a small group of friends are celebrating the annual ‘Silver Grove Massacre’ by telling the story of the legendary Mr. Buzzkill exactly where the events happened.”
“It was nice to be on the other side of the camera for once,” Burkett says. “Wielding a buzz saw instead of having to worry about getting the shots and actors together was a lot more fun. Especially when I was the one covered in blood!”
