High Octane Pictures is at it again. From writer-director Jimmy Lee Combs, a film that brings together the casts from Friday the 13th, Maniac Cop 1 & 2, George Romero’s The Crazies, Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs, Sleepaway Camp, Critters 2 and more, on VOD January 8 from High Octane Pictures!
When Michael wakes up he is horrified to find that he is riding shotgun with a psychopath (Christopher Showerman, “Supergirl”) who reveals to him that Michael’s wife and daughter are held captive in the attached cargo trailer. The trailer is rigged to release a deadly toxin when triggered by a switch in the car. Thinking of his family’s safety, he cooperates with everything the psychotic driver asks him to do even if it means breaking the law. During this bizarre ride, the driver subjects Michael to three horrific tales of the macabre including a demon that takes a mother (Lynn Lowry, “Shivers”) on a journey of self-discovery and reveals to her the horrifying truth behind her son’s suicide. The next tale transpires in the ’80s where a Detective is hot on the trail of a serial killer known as The Sledgehammer (Jonathan Tiersten, “Sleepaway Camp”) who is terrorizing a video store owner and his wife. In the final tale, an evil deity (Yan Birch, “Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs”) is using the human body as a host to possess its victims. When the deity destroys one victim it jumps to another causing an epidemic of possessions being reported.
Horror anthologies are awesome. And this film looks like it will fall nicely in that category. Several stories intertwining, connected yet different. Terror Tales looks like one of those films that might be a little over the top, with some great (and some not so great) acting moments, but you are enjoying it the entire time because it’s just flat out entertaining.
Oh and look! A bonus clip from the film!
With a burning desire for the truth behind his abduction and the safety of his family, Michael must try to survive the madness? Your sanity will be tried and tested in Terror Tales. Laurene Landon (Maniac Cop), Jennifer Runyon (Ghostbusters), Ari Lehmann (Friday the 13th), Ashley Park (“Rosewood”), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and Helen Udy (The Dead Zone) also star. January 8 Terror Tales will terrorize the masses on VOD. 2019 is sure to be “terror-fying”!
