POP SKULL FINAL OFFICIAL TRAILER DEBUTS
Drug-infused psychological horror by award-winning visionary director Adam Wingard
Los Angeles, CA, June 17, 2009 – Halo-8 Entertainment has released the trailer for its upcoming release POP SKULL, a manic, twisted, drug-infused and award-winning psychological horror film directed & co-written by Adam Wingard (”HOME SICK”), starring & co-written by newcomer Lane Hughes, co-written and co-produced by E.L. Katz (”AUTOPSY”), and produced by Peter Katz (”MORTUARY”). The film is currently slated for a string of theatrical events (tied in with similarly demented Halo-8 upcoming releases GODKILLER and IN A SPIRAL STATE) followed by a DVD release on July 28, 2009.
“Fans of experimental cinema will squirt themselves as POP SKULL is a slice of heavenly arthouse goodness… it’s kinda like GUMMO but without the gay midgets and dead cats. 4 stars” -Eric Campos, FILM THREAT
POP SKULL depicts the lonely and disjointed life of Daniel, a young Alabama pill addict, as his efforts to cope with the trials of his day-to-day life collide with the increasing influence of murderous and displaced spirits that inhabit his home. Plagued by ghosts, Daniel discovers his home holds a secret to a grisly crime… a crime he’s doomed to repeat if he can’t prevail against the forces that haunt him.
“Unlike any horror film you’ve ever seen — and ever WILL see — POP SKULL is a must-see.” -Stephen Susco, writer of THE GRUDGE
“Distinctive, visually powerful and uncompromising.” -Robert Koehler, Variety
“The film is well paced, leaving us on the edge of our seat until the climactic end.” -Mr. Disgusting, Bloody-Disgusting.com
“Equal parts Aronofsky and Tsukamoto, Wingard straddles the line between experimentation and linear narrative.” -Todd Brown, Twitchfilms.net
“Impressive.” -LAsplash.com
Pop Skull premiered domestically at the AFI Film Festival and internationally at the Rome Film Festival before playing the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival, San Diego Film Festival, San Francisco Independent Film Festival, and New Zealand International Film Festival. It was awarded grand jury prizes at the Indianapolis International Film Festival and the Boston Underground Film Festival.
