Director David Del Rio's Christmas horror-thriller SICK FOR TOYS, which was produced by our own James "JimmyO" Oster, is set to begin spreading holiday fear well ahead of the Christmas season, as Freestyle Digital Media has announced that they will be giving the film a digital and VOD release on September 4th.
Scripted by Justin Xavier and based on a story by JimmyO, SICK FOR TOYS tells the following story:
Every year for Christmas, Emilia gets the same gift from her brother Edward. This year when she wants something more, the siblings will discover that even your favorite toys always tend to break. Sick For Toys is a nightmarish family holiday thriller, one that will twist and turn itself under your skin until its disturbingly creepy final act.
Xavier produced the film as well, with Jon Paul Burkart and David Gunning executive producing. SICK FOR TOYS is presented by Nine Ten Films and Delco-Cut Productions.
Xavier, Burkart, and Gunning also took on acting roles in the film, alongside Camille Montgomery, Melanie Thompson, Katie Wallace, Levi Ashlyn, Morgana Shaw, and HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT's Pinhead Paul T. Taylor.
I had the chance to watch SICK FOR TOYS a few months back and thought it was great. It tells a twisted story, and the actors do an awesome job of bringing it to life. I would recommend seeking it out when it reaches VOD next month.
