Werewolves Involved in Underground ‘Skin Trade’
Spoke Lane Entertainment and Mike the Pike Prods. have acquired film rights to George R.R. Martin’s werewolf novella The Skin Trade. Martin’s story is based on a female private investigator on the trail of a serial killer linked to an underground werewolf clan ruling the remains of a vibrant city devastated by a recession. It’s nice to see companies moving on original projects, hopefully some of them will actually come into fruition.
Supernatural horror, psychological suspense, and an eye-catching creature haunt the trailer for The Leaching.
Dark Star Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment are co-releasing the creature feature On Digital and On Demand July 7.
In the film, “After waking up in a grave on her father’s isolated forest property with no idea of who she is or how she got there, Vivian must use her limited memory to piece together the nightmarish truth, all the while being tormented by the undead, a giant leech monster, and her “father.” Over the next few days, she will uncover the framework of a truly nefarious supernatural scheme, but will it be too late?”
The Leaching is written and directed by Evan Showalter (Ante Mortem, Bad Music Terry).
“The Leaching is an exploration of faith, the loss of self, and the monsters (literally) that emerge when people surrender themselves to something greater than they can understand,” says Showalter. “It’s an isolating horror film that plays with a very uncomfortable question: Can you trust your family?”
Trust seems in very short supply in the trailer.
