Hell
Town, USA—The trailer for HELL TOWN, the soap-opera slasher film co-directed by
cult filmmaker Steve Balderson (PEP SQUAD, FIRECRACKER) and Elizabeth Spear, is
now available for non-exclusive embedding and sharing.
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 will premiere in April in Austin, TX as a special event presented by the
Austin Horror Society.
Additional
screenings at Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival in Charleston, S.C. in May
and other film festivals will continue throughout 2015.
