SRS Cinema, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has an inspired horror tale from filmmaker Shawn C. Phillips ready for genre-fans to enjoy on DVD this coming Sept. 13.
Who knew that when writer Jay Anson delivered his book in 1977, “The Amityville Horror,” that an entire cottage industry of films would be inspired, beginning with director Stuart Rosenberg’s The Amityville Horror, which was released during the summer of 1979.
Something on the order of at least 30 films have carried the “Amityville” moniker since then (with more on the way). Which is, of course, an immediate identification — a red flare to genre fans — that what you are about to see is going to be scary!
But what happens when you combine that built-in terror of an Amityville film with the latest affront to all things holy and descent, the nagging presence of a KAREN!!
Actor-turned-director Shawn C. Phillips has come up with what could very well be the most terrifying entry in the Amityville film franchise (film legacy) yet … Amityville Karen!! The DVD from SRS Cinema that will certainly rock the horror world on Sept. 13.
Vlogger, Playboy model and parody artist (her Lady Gaga is spot-on) Lauren Francesca was recruited for the title role of Karen and word is that she absolutely nailed it. So much so that Shawn C. Phillips and Lauren Francesca have teamed up for four additional films — Mistletoe Massacre, Cheer Bloody Murder, Amityville Shark House and Amityville Bigfoot.
Karen is hell on wheels, a real work of art … dare we say it, a bitch. Demanding and unforgiving … my way or the highway. She’s given plenty of rope to establish just how irritating she can be and then the moment comes. A struggling brew house/tasting room (with truly bad entertainment), has a cursed vintage and so Karen simply helps herself to it, which turns her into a monster (isn’t that redundant??). The slaughter begins … the blood, and the wine flow, and Karen continues the tradition of Amityville being a hell-on-earth (in all the best ways)!
Bonus features include commentary and an extensive behind-the-scenes featurette!
