A film student finds herself trapped in a giallo nightmare in lo-fi horror movie City Wide Fever heading to streaming next month.
The meta horror movie by debut writer/director Josh Heaps begins streaming on Midnight Pulp on July 7.
In City Wide Fever, “Sam, a young film student, discovers a USB detailing the life and career of forgotten Italian horror director Saturnino Barresi. As she begins to investigate his mysterious disappearance, Sam finds herself pulled into a violent conspiracy eerily similar to those of the films she adores.”
Diletta Guglielmi, Angelica Kim, and Nancy Kimball star with Onur Tukel (Summer of Blood), Larry Fessenden (You’re Next), Carolyn Farina (The Age of Innocence), and comedian Ian Fidance.
Paul Lê wrote in his review, “To Heaps’ credit, this isn’t just a case of throwback filmmaking that’s been achieved with contemporary technology; the director used era-authentic equipment to help create this striking and nostalgic piece of modern horror. The end result is a movie that, despite all appearances, doesn’t entirely escape convention, but it’s also teeming with enough verve and style to make it feel fresh.”
Heaps produces alongside Vincent “Chenzy” Graziano. Maddin executive produces with Robert Forbes, Richard Stoeffel, Jim Stoeffel, Brooks May, Amanda Romo, Franklin Laviola, and Nicholas Laviola.
City Wide Fever is also available on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
