MALIBU HORROR STORY SECURES THEATRICAL DISTRIBUTION WITH ICONIC EVENTS RELEASING
Following an expansive film festival run around the globe, the award-winning, independent horror film will hit theaters on October 20th with a limited release across North America.
Initially inspired by found-footage juggernauts Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield, the film went into development in the late 2000s. Shot over the course of ten-plus years with 30 different cameras and various codecs, Director/Writer/Producer Scott Slone continued to shape and develop the film, utilizing its found footage roots while incorporating multiple genres, including crime, mystery, and horror. Well received in the festival space,
MALIBU HORROR STORY secured official selections at 67 film festivals, such as Panic Fest and Grimmfest, and received over 65 awards, including Scariest Film (HorrorFest International), Best of Fest, and Best Director (Crimson Screen), the Audience Award for Best Feature and Best of Fest (Firstglance Film Festival) and Best Horror Feature (Atlanta Horror Film Festival).
MALIBU HORROR STORY stars Dylan Sprayberry (Teen Wolf, Light as a Feather, Sick), Robert Bailey Jr. (Nightshift, Emergence), Valentina de Angelis (Gossip Girl), Rebecca Forsythe (Replace, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit). The film features contortionist and creature actor “Twisty” Troy James (Nightmare Alley, Hellboy, Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark), who rose to fame after season 13 of “America’s Got Talent” and Actor/Stunt Performer Douglas Tait (Annabelle Comes Home, Hellboy and Halloween Kills). The film also stars Tommy Cramer, Veno Miller, Jacob Hughes, and Hector Gomez Jr.
The film takes place over ten years in Malibu, California, following the mysterious disappearance of four popular high school boys on graduation night. We follow a team of paranormal investigators as they search a sacred cave in the hills of Malibu for clues to the boys’ disappearance, only to uncover a terrifying truth.
