About
The Film:
Slaughter Daughter is the brainchild
of Director Travis Campbell and Writer/Producer Lauren Miller. Campbell and
Miller also partnered up on their previous feature, Mr. Bricks: A Heavy
Metal Murder Musical. After Mr. Bricks was
completed, they begin brainstorming a new idea about a matricidal young woman
named Farrah. They immediately thought of Nicola Fiore, one of the stars
of Mr. Bricks, to play the lead. Italian Giallo films of the 1970s,
soap operas, and true crime novels all became the inspirations behind Slaughter
Daughter.
In January of 2011, the team began to build an online
presence for the film and shot the first of what would become a weekly web
series lasting 8 episodes. The series focused in on Farrah’s stint in a mental
hospital and aired on YouTube. From there, the team pulled up their socks and
climbed the uphill battle of making independent film. Fueled by inspiration and
determination, they completed the project and gave birth to something truly
inspired.
“Slaughter Daughter” is an inspirational film to me.”
says director Travis Campbell. “I know this sounds strange since it is a horror
movie, yet making the film was an opportunity for me to get out of my comfort
zone. I was excited to get inside the female psyche. Independent film is a hard
business, and some say it is dead. There is no money and at the end of the
night, you know you have to go back to the daily grind the next morning. My
hope is my movie will stand out and rescue you from this monotony. With Slaughter
Daughter I believe this is entirely possible.”

After being left at the altar 5 years ago, ex-beauty queen Farrah Adjani
has receded into her own world. She lives at home in an apartment shared by her
mother and aunt, and rarely comes out of her room. She spends her time flipping
through the 24-hour news cycle and feeding her obsession with Jackson Miles, a
recently convicted serial killer. Everything changes when her overbearing drunk
of a mother returns home from her date, flashes a ring, and announces 'Mommy's
getting married!' Thrown into a tailspin, Farrah makes a drastic move to get
noticed by Jackson Miles. She wants to learn everything Jackson knows about
murder. Farrah never could be the perfect daughter, but can she be the
perfect killer? On her mother's wedding day, she's planning to find out!
