Hell
Town, USA—FANGORIA has exclusively unveiled the trailer for HELL TOWN, a new
horror soap-opera slasher film co-directed by cult filmmaker Steve Balderson
(PEP SQUAD, FIRECRACKER) and Elizabeth Spear.
HELL
TOWN follows the melodramatic antics of high school seniors clashing over love,
sex, and betrayal. In the middle of all the one-sided infatuations,
backstabbing bitchiness, bottled-up sexuality, sibling rivalry and general
small-town angst, there is the “Letter Jacket Killer” who is killing students
in a variety of sadistic ways. As the body count rises and the blood
pools closer to home, it becomes clear that one of our main characters is the
killer…but who? Everyone, from the Prom Queen and Shirtless Jock to the
Nosey Geek and Super Bitch, are all suspect.
The tale of the Letter Jacket Killer is presented as a slice of soap
opera. Literally. Balderson and Spear have carved the story as
three consecutive mid-season episodes of a fictitious TV serial, including
opening and closing credits.
“The
inspiration,” Balderson says, “comes from the Netflix model of the world.
It’s so much fun to binge-watch an addictive show—especially serials involving
catfights, cliffhangers and murder.”
HELL
TOWN begins its film festival run in the spring.
