Like your Irish countrysides teeming with diseased, murderous freaks? Then welcome to PLAGUE TOWN, which Dark Sky Films and MPI Media Group have just begun shooting, with documentary director David Gregory at the helm.
The film tells the tale of a dysfunctional family’s vacation to the Irish countryside that encounters a village of diseased, deformed and decidedly homicidal residents.
Envelope-abusing director David Gregory (IFC’s documentary THE SPAGHETTI WEST) had this to say: “Independent horror has always challenged the norm and furthered the genre. And Plague Town goes into far more perverse and disturbing territory than the average horror film. The entire cast and crew of Plague Town are not only prepared to push the envelope, but pummel and mutilate it as well.”
“Dark Sky has become known for restorations and reissues of such classic horror films as the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” said Dark Sky Films’ Greg Newman. “And with theatrical releases like The Manson Family, Antibodies and Them, we’ve been introducing what we feel is the best in independent contemporary horror to the marketplace. Original productions have always been part of our plan since launching Dark Sky in 2004, and we intend to produce several films per year under the Dark Sky brand. Plague Town is a terrific script, and David Gregory comes to the project with one of the most unique resumes in the genre.”
