Here’s the synopsis:
“A series of down-on-their-luck individuals enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings. By the time our patrons realize the truth, escape is no longer an option. For once the ticket is torn, their fate is sealed at Nightmare Cinema.”
Garris directed “Dead” from his own script; Brugues directed and wrote “The Thing in the Woods”; Dante directed “Mirari,” written by Richard Christian Matheson; Kitamura directs “Mashit,” written by Mexican author and filmmaker Sandra Becerril.
Slade directed “The Way to Egress,” based on the short story “Traumatic Descent” by Lawrence C. Connolly, who co-wrote the short film with Slade.
Nightmare Cinema will be released on June 21 in limited theaters and On Demand via Good Deed Entertainment.
