Pictures Studios will be releasing, over the next several months, three
exclusive clips from their film Ombis. Although principal photography is over,
the journey of Ombis is far from. Now with editing in the final stages, the
adventure is about to begin! DefTone Pictures Studios, which is known for its’
controversial short film series Black Guy on a Rampage, is on the verge of
releasing their alien-themed epic Ombis.
Ombis
takes place in the peaceful village of Metzburgh where the townsfolk go about
their daily activities in unaware bliss. In the midst of this idealistic
backdrop enter the hideous virus Ombis which is intent on taking over the
planet Earth and changing its residents into a host for a new species. With the
Metzburgh quickly becoming infected, a few unaffected people must fight off the
destructive virus along with the alien bounty hunter that has come to destroy
it, a vicious killer known as the Nemesis.
Plot
Synopsis: Peaceful, rustic Metzburgh
is a quiet village which was a former industrial town whose glory days are long
past after the collapse of Metzburgh Grain. Teenager Mark Lowe (Jason John Beebe)
and his ex-girlfriend Lucy Greenheart (Sarah Manzella) are stuck in a lovers
quarrel when a meteorite crash lands in the passive community. Glen (Robert
Bozek ), an ex-employee of the grain silos who became homeless after the
collapse of the mills, stumbles upon the fiery crash. Unaware that his find
could be dangerous, he gets too close and a chemical poison sprays out of the
meteorite, enveloping him. The
chemical agent known as Ombis begins to turn his insides into a slimly
substance. Unable to stop the spread of the infection, Glen runs onto the road
where Mark and Lucy find him. The
two take him to the only Doctor in town, Doctor D (Deborah Manzella)
Mark and Lucy are shocked by their gruesome discovery and
immediately contact the local Sheriff Thomas Brackett (Richard Satterwhite) who
is on a date with a lovely waitress Daisy (Kathy Murphy). With their date being
interrupted, they aid the traumatized love birds. With no sign of the creature
or its victims, Brackett dismisses Mark’s fantastic story. Quickly returning to
where the meteorite crash landed, Mark finds a new horrific discovery that the
meteorite wasn’t the only creature to crash land on Earth.
With the towns folk overrun by the virus and the collateral damage
adding up, a special containment team shows up to try and keep order and
contain the plague. The human
struggle of the residents of Metzburgh and their fight for survival then begins
as the village is overrun with the alien invasion and the mutated humans that
it creates.
“I remember laughing to myself during the original script process saying; I
don’t know why I am writing a scene where two characters are in a police car
driving down a street. I know I
won’t be able to actually do this. Not on an independent budget and
resources. Fast-forward a
year later we are shooting two characters driving down a village street in a
police car for a scene in Ombis. The scene features two great actors Richard
Satterwhite and Aryn Fitzgerald and has become my favorite scene of the film”
says director Adam R Steigert.
