With the American Film Market set to commence next month, expect to hear about all kinds of cool genre flick in various stages of production. We have a new one here for ya, a 3-part horror anthology called SANITARIUM. Not good enough? How about Robert Englund, Malcolm McDowell, Lou Diamond Phillips and Lacey Chabert (below) all starring in the sumbitch? Let’s run it…

Currently in post-production, SANITARIUM, from Highland Film Group, consists of three tales based on three particular patients of a mental institution. Each tale begins with Dr. Stenson, the primary physician at the Sanitarium, commenting on the recent arrival of a new patient. As Dr. Stenson speaks, the individual’s story begins.

So an old school Amicus style anthology, with a doctor’s work as the wrap around narrative. Oddly, there’s little info out there on who’s actually directing the flick, but we do know David Mazouz, Chris Mulkey and John Glover will co-star.

Until we hear more, you can keep tabs on the official Facebook/AFM page for SANITARIUM.
