Join us after the screening at 9:00pm for a live Q&A with Co-Director/Composer Gabriel Carrer, Co-Director/Writer Reese Eveneshen, Producer Avi Federgreen , Producer/Actor James Fler and Actors Lora Burke, Nick Smyth and Colin Paradine
It’s Halloween night and there’s a crazed intruder with a hostage in Romina’s house, as an onslaught of masked killers for hire are pounding at her door. Trick or treat! Lora Burke (LIFECHANGER, POOR AGNES) stars as a kindhearted nurse just trying to take a load off, when all hell breaks loose! Chris (Nick Smyth) is demanding justice for a wrongdoing from his past, he’s angry, desperate, and has nothing left to lose. He’s owed a debt of blood and will not be satisfied until he gets a confession from his captive. As the mystery involving the three occupants begins to unravel, a plague of mercenaries descend on the house. New alliances will be tested as the occupants struggle to survive a night marked by death.
Gabriel Carrer (THE DEMOLISHER) and Reese Eveneshen (DETECTIVE) have combined their filmmaking prowess to create this blissfully brutal DIY powerhouse. Burke’s talent is irrefutable from the onset of the film, ushering in the dramatic plight of these tangled characters with ease. But once the action starts, it doesn’t stop until the blood and bodies have filled the house. Filmed in only 15 days, with stunts done by the actors themselves and loaded with practical FX, don’t miss the world premiere of this head-on collision of these creative filmmakers. Loaded with gore and guts, and coupled with a tense synth soundtrack (composed by Carrer), VICIOUS will kick your teeth in and have you begging for more! – Justin Langlois
