Press Release:

New Psychedelic Horror Adventure 'Amethyst' premieres on Amazon Prime

The most shocking silent horror film since Nosferatu. Amethyst, written and directed by psycho-sensationalist, Jared Masters (Slink, Ballet of Blood). Shot in 4K resolution, in a secret garden, this highly anticipated feature film is now available to watch free with an Amazon Prime subscription, or rent or download to own (DVD coming soon). This phenomenal picture was the Semi-Finalist this year at the Los Angeles CineFest and Winner at the UHD 4K Film Festival, in South Korea, where it will be broadcasted on local television (SkyTV).

Trapped in a trip. The incredible true story of Amethyst, the girl who accidentally consumed a full vial of LSD, on her 17th birthday, and inevitably begins losing her mind. Follow along, as this profound psychedelic adventure unfolds.

She took too much.

Will she ever return to this side of reality again? Will her best friend, Ember, who gave her the gift, find her, in time?

One drop is enough.

Consumed by a kaleidoscope of wonder, Amethyst discovers a whole new existence above ours, inhabited by female vampires, piccolo-playing eunuchs, romantic noblemen, river nymphs, mystical floating orbs, and a giant stone pyramid that may be her portal home.

A fragile mind in a delicate body.

Official Stills and Trailer for Frolic Pictures' Upcoming Film "Amethyst"

Frolic Pictures recently released official stills and the official trailer for their upcoming film "Amethyst". The film stars Grace Klich and Val Miller.

No official release date has been announced for "Amethyst" at this time.

Press Release:

The 1st trailer for the upcoming feature film ‘Amethyst’ was released this morning. It is the latest from psycho-sensationalist Jared Masters of Frolic Pictures. It is a silent film, and the true story of a girl, who took too much (LSD), and went down the rabbit hole, never to return to this side of reality again.

After exceeding the recommended dose (by about 499 hits of liquid lysergic acid), Amethyst becomes consumed by its psychedelic properties and discovers a whole new existence above ours, a place beyond invisible mirrors. Although she must endure this tragedy, some good does come from it. She befriends a piccolo-playing eunuch, and follows magical orbs to their family cluster.

Will Amethyst’s best friend, Ember, find her … in time? Will Amethyst kill, or be killed, by the many strange beings that surround her? Will she devour the tempting fungi indigenous to the wood? Only you can tell, after baring witness, to the sights and sounds of this splendid, startling and spectacular motion picture event.

Don’t miss Grace Klich and Val Miller, out of the house, exploring the wonders of a secret world. Vampires, sea nymphs, gentiles, river fairies, butterflies and ghost children. Will the mysterious 100-foot obelisk, that Amethyst discovers, help send her home? She may even find sea nymph eggs, but what will she do with them?

This film is not recommended for the closed-minded, or persons with shallow cinematic taste. However, if you are someone who has ever dreamed of an oasis of joy and laughter, this side of Heaven, where goat-footed dwarves ride white pygmy ponies, then, this one’s for you.

Shot in historic Richmond, Virginia, in stunning 4K and Tripto-vision. Co-starring Derrick Biedenback, Vincent Joel and Olivia Yohai. Cinematography by Takede Osheame. Production assistance and continuity by Matt McPartland and Casey Plemons. Produced by Megan Clare Johnson and Andrew Wint. Music composed by Federico Ferrandina. Written and directed by Jared Masters (Slink, Ballet of Blood, After School Massacre).

Be sure to check out the trailer, and tell your friends, but remind them… One drop is enough… Amethyst is coming soon.
