We’ve been bombarding you with teaser posters for Joshua Grannell’s ALL ABOUT EVIL for months now, but we’re coming into the home stretch with this, the seventh out of eight one-sheets for the dark comedy. This one features Thomas Dekker, who plays Steven, the film’s protagonist; a teen-aged character whose love of old horror movies helps fuel and inspire a real-life movie massacre.

ALL ABOUT EVIL tells the wickedly delirious tale of Deborah Tennis (Natasha Lyonne) a mousy librarian who inherits her father’s beloved but old movie house in San Francisco. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer – and starts turning out a series of grisly short films. Quickly cultivating a rabid legion of gore fans, Deborah makes it a “family” affair by recruiting a nefarious crew to execute her devious plan: the loyal Mr. Twigs (Jack Donner), psychotic twins Veda and Vera (Jade and Nikita Ramsey) and hygienically challenged Adrian (Noah Segan). Her biggest fan, high school student Steven (Thomas Dekker of the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street), doesn’t realize the murders in the movies are real. As Deborah’s “actors” keep disappearing, will he catch the blame for the dastardly deeds of this fame obsessed auteur?
