Creators
of FOUND in development on feature-length version
ofretro slasher HEADLESS
by Kara Erdel
Bloomington, IN – The ten-minute piece of footage so
controversial it got Found banned in
Australia is now in development as a feature film. Due to overwhelming demand
by fans of the original movie, Forbidden Films – the creative team behind Found -
is collaborating with Gentleman Monster Productions to bring to life the
complete, bloody story ofHeadless.
Found, the DIY horror darling
that debuted on the festival circuit in 2012, made its mark on the indie scene
as a boyhood tale with a bent toward the macabre. Based on the novel by Todd Rigney, Found built
a blood-soaked masterpiece on a shoestring budget of just $8,000, going on
to win 15 Best Feature awards, as well as numerous other awards for
acting, directing, and cinematography. Fans of Found will
remember Headless as the nasty little peek
into a slasher movie that horrified two young friends with its
amped-up blood and guts, its parade of topless women, and its iconic,
machete-wielding villain. The feature-length version of this intense,
gore-filled fantasy brings the gruesome and the psychedelic together in one
gorgeous, grotesque, ultra-hardcore horror party.
Synopsis:
The
body count climbs as a skull-faced killer battles his inner demons in
this retro-slasher epic.
Status:
Headless is currently
in the development stages, and has just
launched its Kickstarter campaign, which runs through
July 21, 2014 and features comprehensive reward packages ranging from
a special thanks on Headless’ official website (donations of $1
or more) to the opportunity to “Be A Victim” ($500) - a chance
to appear on-screen as a mutilated corpse left by the Headless Killer. Donors
at the $1,000+ level will receive an Executive Producer credit in the main
titles of the film and on IMDB. Contributions in-between include pre-order
options for DVD, Blu-Ray, and limited-edition VHS copies of the feature
(provided by Vultra Video).
