NEW
YORK, NY (June 17, 2014) – Virgil Films & Entertainment announces the
upcoming DVD, VOD, and Digital HD release of the controversial film
“Infliction” on Tuesday July 1st, 2014 in the U.S. and Canada. Produced and
directed by award-winning filmmaker Jack Thomas Smith, whose last feature film
“Disorder” was released by Universal/Vivendi and Warner Brothers, “Infliction”
is a dark and disturbing assembled footage film that documents two brothers’
2011 murder spree in NC and the horrific truth behind their actions.
“Working on ‘Infliction’ left me troubled and haunted,” says Jack Thomas
Smith. “It left me thinking about people’s actions or lack thereof and the
inevitable domino effect. We all walk our own path in life, which shapes and
defines us. What happens to us today, good or bad, will affect generations to
come.”
“Infliction”
will be available on Netflix, Walmart.com, iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes
& Noble, CD Universe, Google Play, Vudu, Cinema Now, Vimeo OnDemand, and
other online retailers.
Earlier this year, “Infliction” opened in select theaters across the
country. Additional screenings have been scheduled this summer and fall due to
demand in Washington, NJ; Pittsburgh, PA; NYC; Gettysburg, PA; and the Chiller
Theatre Expo in Parsippany, NJ.

About
Jack Thomas Smith:
Jack
Thomas Smith made his feature film-directing debut with the psychological
thriller “Disorder.” He was also the writer and producer of that film.
“Disorder” was released on DVD by Universal/Vivendi and New Light
Entertainment. It was released on Pay-Per-View and Video-On-Demand by Warner
Brothers. Overseas, it screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Raindance
Film Festival in London. Curb Entertainment represented “Disorder” for foreign
sales and secured distribution deals around the world.
Born
in 1969 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Smith lived there until he was eight
when his family relocated to a quiet island community in Michigan, which would
later serve as the inspiration for his upcoming film “In the Dark.” He began to
write at a very young age after reading the Stephen King novels “Salem’s Lot”
and “The Shining.” By the time he was eleven, he had written a 300-page novel
and a number of short stories.
Smith’s
family moved to Sparta, New Jersey when he was a teenager. It was there in that
middle-class town that he discovered the films of George A. Romero, Stanley
Kubrick, Brian DePalma, and John Carpenter. Inspired to make movies, he wrote
and directed a handful of short films that were shot on Super 8mm and starred
his brother and friends in all of the roles.
As
a young adult, Smith produced films for noted horror directors Ted Bohus and
John Russo, co-creator of “Night of the Living Dead.” From that point on, it
was only a matter of time for his growth as a filmmaker to expand.
Smith’s
current project he calls “Infliction” is a dark and disturbing assembled
footage film that documents two brothers’ 2011 murder spree in NC and the
horrific truth behind their actions.
Smith’s
production company, Fox Trail Productions, Inc., is currently developing the
action/horror film “In the Dark”, the drama “Illegals”, and the comedy “Ties
that Bind.”
