Yes, it is officially Brittany Murphy Day on the ‘net. The existence if two long-delayed films of hers are both inexplicably being resurrected (thanks AFM!) across the web, so who are we to fall behind? (This is what happens on a slooooow news day.)
First we brought you the trailer for ACROSS THE HALL, and now there’s DEADLINE, which looks just as insipid. No surprise though; our first article on DEADLINE was in June 2008, so this is one of those flicks you just now you don’t really have to get excited about.
Alice, 32, a writer recovering from a psychological breakdown retreats to a remote Victorian house to convalesce and focus on finishing her screenplay in time for a fast approaching deadline. Shortly after her arrival, mysterious noises and strange happenings cause her imagination to run wild, sending her on a twisting and terrifying pursuit to find out what is behind the endless mind games. Frightened but intrigued, Alice gathers the courage to go down into the cold, dingy attic where she finds a shoe box filled with mini-dv tapes. The terrifying secret that lies within the tapes will unravel Alice’s dark past.
DEADLINE will be hitting over 3,500 theaters on December 1st…. Just kidding, it’s going straight to DVD.
