The Butcher Brothers return!
Some late week news out of Sundance posits the Butcher Brothers, the writing/directing team behind this year’s THE VIOLENT KIND, are set to write and direct a psychological horror flick entitled BLACK SUNSET.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Brothers (born Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores) have struck a deal with Queen Nefertari Productions, which will package and finance the film. Cynthia Stafford, CEO of Queen Nefertari Prod., said this of the proceedings: “The project immediately piqued my interest as soon as we read the screenplay,” adding “Our goal is to build a strong slate of commercially viable feature films written and directed by smart filmmakers, and we look forward to embarking on this journey with two of the most talked about directors at Sundance.”
All this prior to a VIOLENT KIND screening? That must be one helluva script!
BLACK SUNSET will follow seven friends on a surf trip to Mexico that turns into something that these jaunts often tend to in horror films: a gory, betrayal-filled nightmare.
Alright, alright. Not the worst I’ve heard. What do you think?
