Press Release:

SRS Cinema has set April 11th, 2017 as date night for the brutal comedy horror flick “She Kills”, from long-time underground producer/director Ron Bonk (“Clay”, “The Vicious Sweet”, "House Shark"). An homage to 70’s Drive-In movies and 42nd Street Grindhouse cinema, it’s the story of Sadie, a woman who discovers her nether regions harness deadly super powers when she’s assaulted by a vicious gang called “The Touchers”.

“She Kills” played at dozens of film festivals and venues across the world, include such prestigious events as the “Eeerie Horror Film Festival” and “The Optical Theatre”. It also debuted this past fall on Itunes, Amazon Video and Vimeo. Now the movie set to infect North American DVD, cable and VOD!

"SHE KILLS is raunchy, gory, and altogether wrong in so many ways. It’s also a pretty damn good time."
-Ain't It Cool News

Synopsis: “Sadie's life is destroyed when a vicious gang called 'The Touchers' targets her for their sadistic fantasies after witnessing her sexy but innocent naked frolicking in a nearby field. On her wedding night they attack her and her husband Edward, brutalizing both of them. But during the attack the virgin bride discovers a dangerous secret about her body - she is cursed with the legendary STD 'Fire Crotch’, a condition where Satan has laid claim to her vagina. After visiting her fortune teller friend Casparella, a space exorcism is attempted on her meat flaps, but it only ends up unlocking secret hidden powers inside her. Her hatchet wound becomes lethal, her most deadly weapon in her thirst for revenge against The Touchers and her fight against lustful men everywhere!”

"This sh*t is off the wall bat-sh*t insane and I loved every single o’er the top (way, way o’er, my creeps) moment!"
-Famous Monsters of Filmland

Official Stills for the Lovecraft Inspired Film "Reel Nightmare"


Together Magic Films recently sent the horror chamber stills for their film "Reel Nightmare". The film stars Madeleine Heil, Garrett Morosky, Andres Mejia, Eric Saleh and Hailey Chown.

"Reel Nightmare" hits VOD on February 7th.

For more information on this film, you can visit the film's official website at: http://www.reelnightmare.com

Press Release:

Together Magic Films will release Reel Nightmare, a Reel Nightmare LLC production, on February 7th across digital platforms in the United States.

“In the spirit of entrepreneurship, we are proud to handle US distribution and marketing for our first feature film Reel Nightmare. This is a fun horror movie we developed from start to finish, and it’s an honor to introduce it to the horror community and all movie fans.” - Says writer and director Armand Petri, who also appears in the film.

Reel Nightmare exists in a contemporary interpretation of the H.P. Lovecraft universe, with the New England-set story centered around the discovery of a Necronomicon inside a Victorian house cursed by three beautiful and vengeful witches; and the main characters depicted as students and alumni from the film program at the fictional Miskatonic University.

The official synopsis reads:

“The discovery of a mysterious book known as the Necronomicon brings production of a film to a deadly halt when its Miskatonic University crew awakens the spirits of three women accused of witchcraft.”

Reel Nightmare was produced by Art Arutyunyan. John DeFazio (Restoration, Limelight) served as Director of Photography.

“With its Cabin in the Woods & Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibe, Reel Nightmare is a horror movie with plenty of appeal for male and female viewers alike. It features horror, humor, romance; and three powerful and seductive witches. We are excited to position our film as a date movie option just in time for Valentine’s Day.” - adds Arutyunyan.

Arutyunyan and Petri will release the trailer for Reel Nightmare on February 7th, the day it will become available for digital rent and purchase. The production duo is also excited to announce that “Bayou Horror Story,” a spin-off prequel set before the events in Reel Nightmare and shot in Louisiana this Fall; is also in post-production with a prospective Spring VOD release date.

Film Review: "Never Open the Door"



When I first heard about “Never Open the Door”, I was interested because it looked interesting and the fact that it was shot in black and white instead of color. It also helped that poster for the blu-ray looked creepy.

The film is about three couples who are getting together with each other and having Thanksgiving dinner in a remote cabin. Their peaceful fun is interrupted when a wounded stranger shows up. After he ends up dead, strange and terrifying events start happening to them. It pits each of them against one another as they look for a way out. Can they find a way out of this madness before it’s too late? The film stars Jessica Sonneborn, Mike Wood, Deborah Venegas and Matthew Aidan.

Wow, this felt like an episode of The Twilight Zone with the blood and gore. I liked this a lot as this felt different from what I’ve seen lately. First, this film was short which is in this case was a good thing because it takes place in one place. Also, this was intense and creepy film from start to finish.

This film succeeds because of its direction from Vito Trabucco. One of the things that I liked about this was the fact that he goes for the black and white approach instead or color in the way the film looks. It gives the film both a retro feel and allowed the creepiness to be fleshed out even more. It gives the film a certain uniqueness that makes this feel different from other films that take place in one setting. The other thing that Trabucco does very well is to make sure that performances work. Whether it’s the way he directs his cast to how well they gelled well together, it kept me interested as I was trying to figure what is happening to them. It made it a very interesting and different film from other horror releases.

The other thing that makes it good was its screenplay. The screenplay written by Trabucco and Christopher Maltauro allows the atmosphere to bring in the level of dread to make the story scary. Whether it’s the way they approach the story to the film’s intense scenes, it had a level of intensity that kept me interested in the action and story. The other thing that they do so well here is to really make sure the story is creepy. Whether it’s the situation that the characters are in to the film’s ending, everything kept me on edge. When you have a screenplay that grabs you like this film did, then you’re doing something right in making everything feel shocking and creepy.

This is a film that you should go out of your way and check out, if you’re a fan of “The Twilight Zone”, as this film has that kind of vibe. Whether it was Vito Trabucco’s directing or the film’s creepy tone, this film make you think twice about opening the door.
