We’re always on the lookout here at AITH for lesser known flicks that might have some punch, and when we stumble across one with some potential we pass it along to all of you. That’s exactly what I’m doing today!
The movie I’m here to tell you all about today comes from director John Soto and is called NEEDLES. Ready for the details? NEEDLES is looking like a voodoo slasher type of deal and stars Jessica Marais, Michael Dorman, John Jarrat, Tahyna Tozzi (below), Trilby Glover and Travis Fimmel. Scope out the synopsis:
Ben Rutherford, a young college student, inherits a small antique machine known as “La Vaudou Mort” from his late father’s estate. He shows the mysterious machine off to a group of his close friends who are suitably impressed, but he returns to his dorm room one day to find that the machine has gone missing! He suspects that one of his friends has stolen it, but who? The next day his estranged older brother Marcus, a forensic photographer, turns up with some terrible news – Ben’s best friend, Ryan, has been gruesomely killed, ripped apart from the inside by some unexplainable force…
Professor Banyon, Ben’s archaeology teacher, informs him that La Vaudou Mort was built in the 1800’s by a man known only as “Rubinstein”, a brilliant but disturbed engineer who was a devout follower of the occult. He reveals that the machine was created as a tool for revenge, supposedly harnessing the supernatural powers of voodoo. It’s not long before more of his friends start being dispatched one-by-one by an unseen and vengeful killer. As the body count grows, Ben must reunite with Marcus in a race to uncover the killer’s motivation and identity before they too become victims!
The only other thing we’ve got for NEEDLES, which is coming from Lightning Entertainment, is the one-sheet you see above. Unfortunately it’s not in high-res yet but you get the idea. That’s all we’ve got. As soon as we hear more on NEEDLES, like a possible release date, we’ll be sure to pass the word along to all of you.
