About a week ago it was announced that a new anthology was in the works, Holidays, which will be a group of subversive tales fashioned around globally recognized celebrations like Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Mother’s Day.
Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, the filmmakers behind the astounding indie Starry Eyes, are going to tell an obsessive tale that takes place on Valentine’s Day!
“We like to tell stories about obsessive characters that end in ways the audience may find dark– but from the perspective of these unstable characters, actually are happy endings,” Widmyer tells us exclusively. “Sort of like morbid fairy tales. Valentine’s Day is the perfect setting for a story of this nature. What better subject matter to explore themes of obsession than love? It provides the perfect tapestry for weaving a twisted tale of a love so sickly sweet it will touch your inner fiend.”
The other vignettes will be helmed by Kevin Smith (Tusk, Red State), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Dark Skies), The Pact‘s Nick McCarthy, Matt Johnson (The Dirties), Sarah Smith (The Midnight Swim), and Anthony Scott Burns.
