You remember a nasty little stem cell horror flick we introduced y’all to last week called THE FRANKENSTEIN SYNDROME? Sure you do, you know…the one starring AITH’s former own Tiffany Shepis. Well gang, we just shoveled a few exclusive photos and the first trailer for the film…which you can find below. Nowhere but here baby…so cop a dose while you can!
Now, I’ll be honest…this trailer is way more hardcore than I thought it was gonna be. Not only is there legitimately disturbing footage (the girl’s mask, the thumping heart, a face getting ripped off, etc.), but the film looks surprisingly well shot and acted. Definitely a syndrome worth catching!
Written and directed by Sean Tretta (adapted from Mary Shelly’s oft-borrowed yarn) – THE FRANKENSTEIN SYNDROME follows:
A beautiful young stem-cell researcher, Elizabeth Barnes (Tiffany Shepis, Nightmare Man, Night of the Demons remake) who joins a secret research group attempting to develop a stem-cell based universal healing serum. Despite opposition from the project leaders Marcus Grone (Louis Mandylor, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Dr. Victoria Travelle (Patti Tindall, The Graves), she quickly develops a serum that can bring the dead back to life – but with horrific results.
Distraught, Elizabeth tries to leave the project, but the project’s financier (film vet Ed Lauter) orders Marcus to hold the research team captive until their research is complete. When one of the project’s security guards (Scott Leet, Freeway Killer) is murdered and then re-animated, the team must contend with a man who at first is like a child, but quickly becomes something much, much more…
Kristina Wayborn, Scott Anthony Leet, Maya Stojan, Esther Ellsworth and David C. Hayes make up the smallish roster of players.
Until we dredge more, enjoy your first exclusive looks!
