Producer Rick Benattar chatted with Rotten Tomatoes about his upcoming FACES OF DEATH movie.
“We’ve got a story, we’ve got a director, we’ve got a writer, J.T. Petty, who did a couple of indie films. He’s coming in and he wrote a script. We’re sort of taking a look at in the world of Saw and Hostel, who are the people who actually go watch these movies? So we’ve tied that in with [the new] Faces of Death.”
Well, I guess it’s the same kind’ve people who would watch this new FACES OF DEATH, eh? Although, maybe not – this movie, as far as I can see, has “VERY limited theatrical release” written all over it, and I’m not so sure how much name-recognition FACES OF DEATH even has with today’s horror audience. And for those of us who know the title, are we really all that excited about this project?
Benattar continues:
“We have a narrative story which the original never had, and we also nod for the ‘fans.’ I use that word loosely. Guys like me who watched it as a kid, who snuck away to go watch these things. We have a few nods to those original films.”
I smell a BLAIR WITCH-type flick, don’t you?
And just for the record – FACES OF DEATH has an 11% Fresh Rating at Rotten Tomatoes (8 reviews, 1 positive).
