“PEACEMAKER” actress turns cannibalistic for “FEVERGOTH: KURU”

The homage to the nu-metal horror of the 1990s and 2000s is getting ready to roll.

Writer/director Orin Black is gearing up for the production of FEVERGOTH: KURU to begin later this year. Described as a “horror romance,” it stars Elliot Frances Flynn, who played Zora in DC Studios’ PEACEMAKER and was also the lead in Black’s previous, award-winning short THE BABYSITTER MURDERS: TIMING’S OFF. The synopsis: “FEVERGOTH: KURU tells the story of ill-fated lovers whose obsessive relationship spirals into violence after they discover a horrifying connection between cannibalism, memory, and identity. Flynn will play Shanny, a Goth performer and addict desperate to reclaim control of her life, who turns toward something dangerous and supernatural in order to do it.”

“This film is a dark, stylized horror blending romance, obsession, and brain-eating,” Black says. “At its core, it’s a toxic love story about the lengths you’d go to keep your person close. Breakdowns in communication and connection are something we can all relate to, but imagine you were tied together by something much darker and more sinister.”
