SOMETHING WICKED comes to Oregon on November 1st. I’m speaking of the brand new horror indie that begins shooting on 11/1 in the Beaver State (great state name!). It will be coming to us from director Jay Lowi and the flick’s plot actually sounds pretty neat. Please, check it out:
SOMETHING WICKED is a tale of psychological manipulation and obsession. James Campbell is the nice guy who refuses to finish last. His life revolves around his gorgeous, out-of-his-league girlfriend, Christine Web. But their lives are thrown into chaos after Christine’s parents are tragically killed. Christine undergoes a dramatic psychological transformation as terror arrives in the form of a mysterious predator. James’s plan to protect Christine, by any means, begins to unravel and secrets are revealed. In the shadow of Christine’s secretive brother and emotionally fragile sister-in-law, James and Christine’s lives are suddenly overwhelmed by doubt, suspicion, deceit, and ultimately murder. The predator will surprise you, and so will the chills. Nice guys will finish last.
Now there’s something fairly original for our genre. When does the nice, average guy ever begin a horror flick already with the super hot chick?! That sounds like one hell of a starting block to jump off from. I hope Mr. Lowi is able to follow through. He is currently in the casting phase for WICKED. Hopefully I’ll have more to report on it soon.
