SinS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE
WORLD PREMIERE OF:
“AMERICAN
GUINEA PIG: BLOODSHOCK”
SATURDAY
JULY 11TH 2015 AT 4:00PM EST
DIRECTOR: MARCUS
KOCH
Director
Marcus Koch will be in attendance with a Q&A following the event
Marcus
Koch is a Director, and Special EFX Master known for “100 Tears”, “ROT”,
“Fell”, and most recently “Hi-8″ (Horror Independent 8) (segment “A Very Bad
Situation”). Marcus’ resume for EFX reads like a who’s who and what’s
what of Independent and Mainstream films such as “American Guinea Pig: Bouquet
of Guts & Gore”, “Dead Still”, “Circus Of The Dead”,
“Bloody Bloody Bible Camp”, “Amerikan Holokaust” and
many many more.
“AMERICAN
GUINEA PIG: BLOODSHOCK” Synopsis:
BLOODSHOCK:
Verb, Pronounced [bluhd-shok] 1. A surgical term used for a heavily mutilated
or a surgical patient whose body releases a massive amount of serotonin,
adrenaline and cortisol with certain growth hormones into the blood stream. The
trauma event causes seizures, hallucinations, convulsionsand can include
heart palpitations, collapsed lungs and severe tongue trauma due to the teeth.
Patients
whose blood readings in Bloodshock levels should be taken with the
most extreme care. Self mutilation, psychosis and ultimately, autopsies
reveal that human patients, unlike their animal counterparts, withstand more
physical damage and mental trauma. Bloodshock levels are extreme and
blood work should be done immediately if one thinks the patient is in danger.
Neurosecretory cells
in the hypothalamus transmit a signal to the pituitary gland inciting cells to
release a chemical messenger into the bloodstream. Blood at this level is
filled with too many variables to chart but as the years go by, surgeons
worldwide are coming closer to understanding the bodies reaction to
pain, violence and mental trauma.
The
understanding of Bloodshock is in it's infancy. The amount
of changes in blood, the regular and the irregular during physical trauma or
even the hint of bodily harm can trigger different chemical compositions that
affect and possibly, effect the human body is outstanding.
Research
is needed to learn more of this irregularity in the human body.

In
the world of independent underground horror there is an enigma known only
as Lucifer Valentine. Lucifer Valentine first released his controversial
style of cinema in 2006 with the release of SLAUGHTERED VOMIT DOLLS which
unleashed a new brand of horror known as “vomit gore”. With the follow ups to
the Vomit Gore trilogy known as reGOREgitated Sacrifice, and Slow
Torture Puke Chamber Valentine cemented himself into the psyche of the
independent underground community with a genre of film that changed the
landscape of horror forever. With the release of the Vomit Gore Box Set Lucifer
Valentine went to a new level with the release of the 21 minute short form film
“A Perfect Child Of Satan”. In 2012 LV went in a new direction
this time with his documentary style film “Black Metal Veins” which
unflinchingly documented the dark realities of despair and morbid
self-annihilation surrounding the lives of five heroin junkies. In 2015
fans are anticipating the release of the latest film from Director Valentine
which has a working title of VOMIT GORE 4.
“A
PERFECT CHILD OF SATAN” Synopsis:
Lucifer
Valentine’s short film about the dangers of online dating starring the amazing
Chelsea Chainsaw. A lonely, vulnerable girl excitedly prepares for her big date

JULY 11TH 2015 AT 2:25PM EST
DIRECTOR: Michael
Todd Schneider (AKA Michael magGot)
Director
Michael magGot will be in attendance with a Q&A following the
event
“…akin
to smashing your teeth into the coffee table for ninety minutes.”
The
first words on Schneider’s work by Rue Morgue Magazine
was regarding his debut feature, My Crepitus/I Never Left The White Room.
They classified a style that would evolve over time, some have called it:
surrealist psychological retro-gore. Being awarded Best Cinematography and Best
Horror Short shocked A Tribute to Sanity to New York International Independent
Film Festival screens. The notorious and confrontational August
Underground’s Mordum was hailed an instant classic. Banned from the
public, Grotesque Fantasies is an experimental documentary following Schneider
and fiends on their artistic exploits. Combining 80’s horror themes with an
elaborate film process called Life-O-Vision is Opening the Mind. Continuing to
venture back to the way films used to be made, …AND THEN I HELPED is
a splatter romp set in 1976. LET’S MAKE A.. HORROR MOVIE combines all
learned into one autobiographical experience that blurs the line between
celluloid and reality. A cerebral collaboration with Tyler Tharpe (Return
in Red, Freak) brings two stories into an exploitation popcorn haven with
DOUBLE DOSE OF TERROR!! A man hating clan of women feast towards the
‘ultimate’ in Manna.
“MANNA”
Synopsis:
A
man picks up a woman in a nightclub and soon finds himself at the mercy of a
cult of women who believe consumption of their sacrifice will bring them to
their highest form of female dominance. Filmed for the horror anthology
“Profane Exhibit”.
Followed
by…
“HIS
DEVIL’S NIGHT” Synopsis:
Escaping
from the barren white walls that consume him, a man sets out into the October
night. Whilst hiding beneath the facade of a hokey Jesus Christ costume, he
very much transforms into a real monster. The proper key to unlocking his
fractured mind is around every bend of his fateful journey…

she became the editor for Brookside Middle School’s weekly ten minute show

in leading and strong supporting roles. Noted as having “a highly original
vision”, Lark is also an award winning director, producer, and screenwriter.

Magazine Spooksmodel and has publicly advocated the advancement of the female

extraordinary fetishism has taken her to a new level: necrophilia. She gets her

“AMERICAN
RefleXXX” Synopsis:
American
Reflexxx is a short film documenting a social experiment that took place in
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Alli Coates filmed performance artist Signe
Pierce as she strutted down a busy oceanside street in stripper garb and a
reflective mask. The pair agreed not to communicate until the experiment was
completed, but never anticipated the horror that would unfold in under an hour.
The result is a heart wrenching technicolor spectacle that raises questions
about gender stereotypes, mob mentality, and violence in America.
