Sales Art For Horror With A Bite, ‘Chomp 3D’

Published

on

While no director is yet attached, Chomp 3D is for pre-sale at the ongoing EFM, and we’ve landed the sales poster.

Chomp is said to mix the humor of Gremlins with the sheer terror and smarts of Deep Blue Sea, and is set against the back drop of the Louisiana Bayou, flavored with the Cajun culture. It will be shot in 3D and produced by Golden Globe nominee, Dan Grodnik and executive-produced by multiple Indie Spirit nominee, Nick Stiliadis. The story is written by Louisiana native, ex ATF agent and award winning author and screenwriter Chuck Hustmyre.

The intention is to deliver Chomp 3D with a PG-13 rating in order to maximize the target audience and its commercial prospects. Check out the art and long synopsis inside.

A wild storm off the coast of Louisiana sends the Chinese freighter “Sea Dragon” crashing into the break wall and spilling its deadly cargo.

Unknown to the inhabitants of the tiny island community of “Grand Lafitte” is that on the eve of tourism season, all hell is about to break loose!

The friendly island is being overrun by hundreds of genetically enhanced “Supersized” Alligators, the result of a genetic experiment designed to boost profits.

These man-eating beasts measure over 20 feet long and weigh in excess of a ton. With a prehistoric look and a bad attitude to match, these creatures are attacking everybody and everything, leaving the authorities of this coastal island town in shock.

Enter the Broussard brothers, former stars of their own reality alligator hunting show, who find themselves the most unlikely of heroes.

With their extraordinary alligator-hunting skills and their intimate knowledge of the swamp, the three brothers are the last line of defense between the townspeople and alligator annihilation.

The ornery gators have finally met their match!
