From Down Under on Apr.
23 comes the domestic DVD debut of writer/director Sam Barrett’s neo-giallo murder thriller, Dark
Sister. Wild Eye Releasing,
with sales and distribution expertise provided my MVD Entertainment Group, set
the street date this past week.
Cassie (Amanda Woodhams —
The
Dressmaker, Looking for Grace) is an artist with visions of horrible,
terrible things happening. A vulnerable
beauty — lovely red hair with piercing blue eyes — she is undergoing some sort
of mumbo jumbo therapy sessions about how her work expresses her deepest
thoughts and feelings.
But there’s more to it
than that as her nightmares — which inspire her work — are becoming all too
real. When a somewhat sketchy
“detective” named Billy Fabrizzi (Vito de Francesco) shows up things take a
turn for the worse as he is able to connect the dots for Cassie. Her visions, her painting and a series of
murders are all connected and he has the evidence to prove it.
In giallo-like sequences, she sees the killer in action from his/her
POV … she becomes, if not the killer herself (hey, it is a mystery thriller and
anything is possible), an amateur sleuth who could be well on her way to becoming
the next victim.
If you are a fan of giallo-style whodunits, then this Down
Under entry will certainly be one to check out on Apr. 23.
Bonus features for Dark
Sister include a commentary option from filmmaker Sam Barrett (No
Through Road, Esoterica).
