Premiering at the ongoing Newport Beach Film Festival is the indie The Estate, a murder-mystery that comes from first-time feature director James Kapner, who, according to the press release, “deftly balances humor and horror, using his keen eye to develop a perfectly campy, Ryan Murphy-esque world.”
The film begins when a narcissistic son (Chris Baker) yearning for a life of luxury and his father’s erratic gold-digging wife (Eliza Coupe) decide to kill their way into their inheritance. They employ the help of an absurdly handsome, mysterious hitman (Greg Finley), initiating a psychosexual love triangle that spirals into more than anyone bargained for.
Bloody Disgusting has the teaser trailer premiere that sets the stage for a family murder and introduces the cast, which also includes Eric Roberts.
