The Directing Team Of Devon Downs And Kenny Gage's Cynthia To Debut On DVD From Indican Pictures On Oct. 23

Oh My!   Indican Pictures might just have the number one cult horror entry for 2018 on its hands!  

Seriously, the directing team of Devon Downs and Kenny Gage’s Cynthia is the sort of genre entry that we will be talking about ten, 15, 20 years from now.   It is in the same class as Larry Cohen’s 1974 gem, It’s Alive or Frank Henenlotter’s 1982 indie feast, Basket Case.  

Not only is the film delivered with humor, but Downs and Gage — who have already served up Twisted Sisters and Buried Secrets — are working with a script from Girls & Corpses Magazine publisher Robert Steven Rhine and have recruited a number of horror icons to chew on the scenery (in a very good way).  

For example, Sid Haig plays against type as a detective assigned to make sense out of what is going on and Bill Moseley goes way, way over the top as a homeless transvestite named Buttercup.   

But in the excitement of the moment, we’ve gotten a little ahead of ourselves.   Cynthia played a few film festivals earlier this year, garnered nice buzz and opened theatrically in selected spots at the end of August … and now the word from Indican Pictures is that Cynthia will be available on DVD this coming Oct. 23.   For the record, the ARR is a quick-turn of just 53 days (timed to take full advantage of the Halloween promotional period).

Robin (Scout Taylor-Compton — as Laurie in Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II reboots, plus such films as Ghost House, Return to Sender, etc.) and her husband, Michael (Kyle Jones — Graduation Day, The Body Tree), have been working overtime to start a family.   Finally, after the use of some rather sketchy drugs from an Asian source, they get the good news.   Twins!   No, wait, just one baby and some sort of “growth.”   

Turns out the “growth” is a little monster which we come to know as Cynthia, who, once separated from her mother, is on a mission from hell to be reunited.   And that means bloodbath city as the little darling (a one-eyed, one-legged hellion) proves to be very resourceful in its quest for home!

If you don’t have a chance to enjoy Cynthia in a theatrical setting, then be sure to pick it up on DVD on Oct. 23 … Halloween party screenings would be very appropriate!!
