[DVD NEWS] - "PLASTERHEAD' coming to DVD October 2nd
Move over Jason, Freddy and Leatherface"PLASTERHEAD"
Arrives on DVD Just In Time For Halloween 2007
Featuring a Killer Soundtrack
Shot With Revolutionary Digital Video Camera DVX100A
In the tradition of Friday The 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, comes a new film from Arts Alliance America. This soon-to-be-cult classic introduces a new, iconic horror villain Plasterhead -- a haunting figure who terrorizes four college students on their way to Miami for Spring Break.
A throwback to the more visceral, serious horror films of the late 70's and early 80's, Plasterhead is set in the bowels of West Virginia. Filmed entirely in the Catskills of Upstate New York to evoke a sleepy backwoods town, Plasterhead pays homage to one of its predecessors, by shooting its diner scenes at the infamous Blairstown Diner in Blairstown, New Jersey, featured in the film Friday The 13th.
Although filmed on a very low budget, Plasterhead has a look and sound comparable to any full-length big budget feature. This in part is primarily due to the filmmakers' decision to lens Plasterhead with the Panasonic DVX100A. This revolutionary digital video camera, which has quickly become the gold standard for independent filmmakers, is able to shoot at 24fps (frames per second), the frame rate of traditional film.
Special extra features on the DVD include: deleted scenes; alternate scenes; commentary track and the film trailer. A viral web-based campaign targeting horror and hard-core music fans will be among the marketing elements supporting the release. Plasterhead will be available on DVD October 2, 2007 for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
Synopsis: Ray Williams was brutally beaten by a band of locals after stopping off in Rolling Glen for a drink and his body, left for dead in an empty cornfield, was never found. Crooked Sheriff Earl Taggart lords over the town with an iron fist and helped acquit the locals involved in the attack.
Whispers of the Williams incident run through the tired walls and eaves of Rolling Glen. Some believe Williams still roams the woods on the outskirts of town, while others claim to have seen Williams in person, a looming figure with a ghostly white visage with a makeshift cast to mask the scars from his assault.
Fifteen years later, four college friends from New Jersey are on their way to celebrate Spring Break and veer off the main highway, only to find themselves uncovering details of the grotesque legend.
The four friends soon find themselves holed up in an abandoned farmhouse, mired in a macabre web of terror. Sheriff Taggart will do anything to keep the truth buried…the truth that Plasterhead is frighteningly real.
Plasterhead was an Official Selection at the Atlanta Horror Film Festival and the Evil City Film Festival. It stars Scream Queen Raine Brown, who also starred in Satan's Playground, Aunt Rose and Barricade. Its diverse soundtrack runs the gamut from Edgar Allen Floe to The Cutaways.
