Director Dorian Weinzimmer's supernatural rock 'n roll horror thriller CHICAGO ROT has been a very long time coming – the Facebook page went live in 2010, and the filmmakers ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for the project in 2011. After all this time, the wait is finally over, as CHICAGO ROT has been set loose into the world by Midnight Releasing.
Written by Weinzimmer and Brant McCrea, CHICAGO ROT stars McCrea and Shira Barber. The film has the following synopsis:
After years of rotting in Joliet, Les, a wrongfully imprisoned street legend known as “The Ghoul”, is released into a mad search through Chicago’s back alleys for the man who slaughtered his mother and robbed him of his soul. Aided by supernatural benefactors, he must delve beneath the city into a modern labyrinth of gutters whose tendrils have grown deep while he was gone.
What unfolds is a desperate tale of brute force tragedy set in the supernatural underworld of Chicago, where heroes are reduced to horror-shows, villains dream of their own demise, and good and evil prove to be antiquated concepts.
The trailer for CHICAGO ROT can be seen below, and if this twisted and blood-splattered tale looks like something you would like to spend some time watching, the film is now available to view on Google Play, Steam, Vudu, YouTube, Vimeo On Demand, Xbox, iTunes, Amazon, XFINITY, and FlixFling.
