Cleopatra Entertainment, with sales and distribution
expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Aug. 27 as the DVD
debut date for writer/director Amanda Kramer’s intense thriller, Ladyworld.
Be good, be kind, be lady-like … until the end of
the world arrives! And then you are on
your own!!
Eden (Atheena Frizzell — Never
Going Back, Hellion) is having a birthday party, her
parents have left her the keys to the apartment … have fun with your seven
party guests. It’s a birthday party for
teenage girls — no boys — so what could possibly go wrong?
Ladyworld
quickly mutates from this apparent teenage slumber party into a shocking
statement on phobias — sexual and otherwise — societal pressures and how
quickly the mores of civilized
behavior can breakdown.
The party goers, including Piper (Annalise Basso — Slender
Man, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Captain Fantastic) and
Olivia (Ariela Barer), find themselves caught up in an apparent earthquake (the
film simply begins in the black with a deafening roar) and they do the normal
thing following such an event and begin to sort things out ... “you OK?” … “did
any thing fall on you?” … Wow, what was that?”
Once they realize that they are actually trapped in
the apartment and that help might not be on the way — and that supplies are
surprisingly sparse — things begin to go south. They form into two “tribes” headed by the
aforementioned Piper and Olivia and make their first attempts at asserting
control. Hysteria rises as the young
women fear that an unknown “man” is lurking within their apartment prison.
In filmmaker Amanda Kramer’s Ladyworld, the
things that make young women “lady-like” are quickly stripped away and that
eerie line from Rudyard Kipling’s famous 1919 poem, “The Female of the Species,”
comes to bear ... “For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.”
