(Edmonton)
April 14th, 2014 Typhoon Films has
announced that THE KILLING GAMES will be released worldwide on Apple Itunes,
Google Play and other outlets on April 22nd,
2014. The feature film had its Worldwide Premiere at the Calgary International
Film Festival, and it’s U.S. Premiere in San Francisco at Another Hole In The
Head Film Festival. It’s last stop on the circuit was at Shock Stock Horror
Convention in London, Ontario this past weekend.
THE
KILLING GAMES ran into its first hurdle when the Edmonton International Film
Festival Chairman told Director Barry J. Gillis that the movie was too violent
for their film festival. Gillis battled with the film festival to screen the
movie, but to no avail. It was a bitter pill to swallow, and Gillis went public
with his displeasure, which in turn led one of the festival organizers to tip
off other festivals in a private film festival Facebook group to blacklist
Gillis and his movie.
Despite
the backlash from various festival organizers, Bruce Fletcher programmer with
the Calgary International Film Festival requested a screener, and loved the
movie so much, that the movie had a very successful debut in Calgary in front
of a wild group of genre fans who thoroughly enjoyed the movie. THE KILLING
GAMES has since put crowds into a frenzy wherever it has screened.
THE
KILLING GAMES opens with a scene where a teenage girl Elysia (Yunona Anders)
accidentally witnesses a sadistic killing by sociopathic serial killers Son of
Satan, (Edwin Autridge) and Dirty Jesus (John Scott), who, once they finish
their work, spot the girl and give chase. Meanwhile, Elysia's dad, the
world-weary Birdman (Kelly A.H. Bird) is at home caring for his invalid wife.
When Elysia doesn't come home at the usual time, Birdman begins to worry about
the whereabouts of his daughter.
Not
far away is a roving gang of criminals headed by Alex (Alex Sharpe), with their
fingers in all sorts of vague illegal pies, including drug dealing and armed
robbery. But after a growly-voiced henchman (Toby S. Krekoski) botches a
stick-up job that results in multiple murders, Alex suggests they head off to
see an old friend he hasn't seen in years, to lay low for awhile. Soon an ill
fated confrontation leads to a bloody, and most unforgettable climax.
THE
KILLING GAMES also features Kim Sonderholm, (CRAIG, LITTLE BIG BOY, THE HORROR
VAULT) who stars as the Big Boss in the movie. Sonderholm is also set to star
in the horror movie HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS which starts filming August 18th, 2014, in Alberta, Canada. HOUSE OF MANY
SORROWS will be Directed by Barry J. Gillis, and will star a big name known to
all horror fans. More announcements concerning HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS will be
made in the future.

Now you know that I've got to see this. With that reputation, you can't expect me to not want to see it LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope it's a good movie aside from the brutality, but the brutality is what's pulling me in anyway.
