Goat
Man’s Hill just launched an IndieGoGo crowd funding campaign for an ambitious
horror feature entitled PRETERNATURAL. The team behind the 2012 indie thriller
SICK BOY describes the new project as an unreliable documentary about fairies.
“It’s not a found footage film,” says writer / director Tim T. Cunningham.
“Nothing against them, but this will be something more in the ballpark of TROLL
HUNTER, but without any of the comedic trappings. It’s going to be a straight
up horror film.”
The
film is designed to start like a true crime documentary investigating the
mysterious disappearance of an accused murderer, but quickly turns into a tale
of monsters when questions are raised as to whether the person the accused
allegedly murdered is actually dead. Promising to take full advantage of their
visual effects backgrounds and boasting the creature design talents of Chris
Grun whose credits include LAND OF THE LOST, CABIN IN THE WOODS, and R.I.P.D.,
the Cunningham brothers aim to create an experience that feels as real as
possible. “It’s not like we’re going to be marketing this as a true story or anything,”
explains cinematographer / visual effects supervisor Sean C. Cunningham. “But
if we can make the documentary sections feel absolutely authentic it should
really add an extra layer of threat to the horror elements.”
With
several features in development, Goat Man’s Hill is turning to crowd funding
for this particular project because it is the most outside the box. “We’re
actively developing five features right now and of the five, PRETERNATURAL is
the most difficult to pitch to traditional financing outlets,” says Tim. “It
really needs to feel low budget to actually work. Well done low-budget, but
low-budget. Except for the VFX, but that’s where our sweat equity comes into
play.”
If
the crowd funding campaign is successful in raising the tiny $35K production
budget, Goat Man’s Hill intends to roll cameras late 2013. Based on the
strength of their pre- production and production efforts, the filmmakers will
raise the larger post-production funds through more traditional methods.
The
30 day campaign runs through September 24, 2013.
