Jan. 13 is the DVD debut
date for writer/director Steve Kopera’s horror tale (with a light touch) The
Cabining, which puts forth the premise that “writer’s block” can be a
killer.
Todd (played by filmmaker
Steve Kopera) and his screenwriting buddy Bruce (Bo Keister) are desperate to
come up with a script — a script that can be turned into a viable film —
especially since Todd’s eccentric uncle, Sarge (Richard Riehle), is willing to
bankroll their project but on one condition … he needs to feel it.
So Todd comes up with a
brilliant idea, which for horror fans means a victim pool is to be
assembled. Only instead of the alluring
beauties heading off to a cabin in the woods to be slaughtered one by one by
one, they are already there. What, how
convenient is that?
Yes, it’s the artist retreat
of Shangri-La and Todd — and not-so-much Bruce — get their creative juices
flowing when the other guests start having “accidents.” It’s too good to be true … the script is
literally writing itself. A hot body
here (Mindy: Angela Relucio; Celeste: Melissa Mars; Lacey: Alice Sherman), a
kook there (Jasper: Luce Rains) and a pool of blood … lots of blood! It’s a writer’s paradise!
The Cabining is great fun … and a terrific way to kick off the
New Year!
