Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has locked into Nov. 22 for the Blu-ray and DVD rollout of writer/director Kurtis Spieler’s mixed-genre thriller, The Dead Girl in Apartment 03.
Part horror tale, part mystery, part suspense-thriller, we get introduced to Laura (Laura Dooling — Loons) as she is distracted by something. Not knowing quite what it is, she dumps her ear-buds and goes to investigate … maybe it was a package delivered, something, but not what she would have ever expected, her roommate, Elizabeth (played by two different actors during the course of the film — Jasmine Peck and Jennie Osterman) dead!! From all appearances, she appears to have died from fright!!
The detectives arrive to investigate, with the lead investigator, Detective Richards (played by Adrienne King — best known to genre fans as Alice in Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2) rattling the already shook-up Laura with a series of questions about her relationship with her dead roommate.
Her partner, Detective Miller (Frank Wihbey — The Sadist), actually seems to be more interested in Laura … later, alone Richards cautions him to back the truck up.
In any case, the pair arrive at the conclusion that Laura likely had nothing to do with it and that her roommate may have actually died of some sort of seizure much earlier than when Laura first found her. Nothing to see here … move along, move along.
For Laura, this is only the beginning of the creep-out. A dead roommate is creepy enough (even when the body is long gone to the morgue), but there is something more going on in the apartment; in Elizabeth’s room!
Laura, asking for help from her former boyfriend, Christian (Bryan Manley Davis) proves to be frustrating … and then suddenly Elizabeth’s lover, Derrick (Michael Schantz), arrives and he’s about as spooky as they come. What’s up with him?
It falls upon Laura to solve the mystery of what her roommate was up to. The deeper she digs, the more she discovers that what was going on with Elizabeth was pretty dark. Meanwhile, as the audience, you have come to the conclusion that Laura needs to stop digging, pack up her stuff and get the hell out of there before all of those sinister manifestations become the real deal!!
As to bonus features, the DVD edition is a movie-only presentation. The Blu-ray SKU comes with commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette and Spieler’s 2011 short film titled No Remorse for Bloodshed.
