Filmmaker John Berardo’s new horror feature The Mannequin will be available on Digital and VOD starting October 14th. Written and directed by Berardo, the film is produced by Maxwell Hamilton, Ashely Nicole Rosenberg, Johnson Lee, Sanjay Belani, Berardo himself, and Carly Sturgeon.

The film stars Isabella Gomez as Liana Rojas, a stylist’s assistant who becomes entangled in a disturbing mystery. After the death of her fashion designer sister in a historic Los Angeles factory building, Liana uncovers a grim past tied to the location. Decades earlier, the site was used by a serial killer posing as a headshot photographer, who lured and dismembered aspiring talents.

As the haunting intensifies, Liana and her friends must confront the malevolent spirit and attempt to break free from its curse before becoming its next victims. With a striking black-and-white prologue leading to a brutal exorcism climax, The Mannequin presents Berardo’s latest exploration of fear within an atmospheric and dangerous setting.
