Ahead of its world premiere December 1st in Sydney, Australia, the trailer for John Fitzpatrick’s  Brentwood Strangler has arrived along with the short film’s official website. We have all the details right here!

If you’ll be in Sydney on Tuesday, be sure to check out the A Night of Horror International Film Festival to see Brentwood Strangler. It’s playing as part of the Australian Horror Gala Program #3 that kicks off at 9PM local time.

From John Fitzpatrick, writer/director of the acclaimed short thriller Skypemare, and Far From Everything Films, comes the highly anticipated follow-up, Brentwood Strangler. With a unique Christmas setting, beautifully shot, the film is a satirical and at times brutal cinematic experience with an incredible cast, led by Jordan Ladd.  It is an homage to classic thrillers of the past such as Strangers on a Train, Marnie, and Psycho.

Ladd’s co-stars include Maximilian Osinski, Annika Marks, Adam J. Yeend, Ryan Dillon, and veteran actor Cameron Daddo.

Brentwood Strangler is a film bound to be recognized not just by horror fans, but all fans of cinema for being exciting and distinctive with a focus on story and character, saluting a genre, bending it, and leaving the audience wanting more.

Says Fitzpatrick of the film’s storyline: “Brentwood Strangler is a truly unique film, a story simply about two people whose worlds collide, who perhaps never should have… and from there it takes its course, and there is where it also ends. The film makes an effort to allow you to feel its simplicity, its economy of shots, and affords you the chance to quietly just watch as the fated duo of Floyd and Maggie play out their slice of life for the viewer. This is something I think is tragically missing from films today, and my hope is that film festivals around the world will recognize that this is what is unique about our film… Brentwood Strangler represents so many things as I move forward with my directing career, but mostly it represents a true sense of the independent spirit, the motivation to try something that one might never attempt and to embark on a challenge that, on the surface, appears, well, simple but actually is one of the greater challenges I’ve ever faced. Simplicity, as it turns out, is quite complex. And for that I am grateful…

Synopsis:
It’s the holiday season in Los Angeles, and women are being strangled to death in the Westwood area. Maggie, a lonely woman, goes on a blind date, unbeknownst to her that her date is an active and notorious serial killer, The Brentwood Strangler. Is love in the air? Or is Maggie in for the worst (and last) date of her life?
