You know us – always on the lookout for the latest indie project to share with you guys. On tap for today we have the poster, some stills, a teaser trailer, and a director’s statement for the upcoming horror film The Road Killer, a thriller about a town terrorized by a series of hit and runs.

Principal photography is taking place in State College, Pennsylvania. Jack Holtz, Paul Garrett, Gabriel Bellotti, Julie Ufema, and Jason Ufema all star. Jon Craig, who co-directs The Road Killer with screenwriter Chris Ryves, had this to say about the film:

“We are huge fans of the horror genre and big fans of old school horror. We find that suspense, realistic acting, and shock are the important elements in horror movies; and a lot of newer horror movies and remakes of old horror films forget the most important and basic things. The horror genre has a long history of low budget projects being very successful. Some of my favorite old horror movies include Evil Dead, Death Race 2000, Dawn of the Dead, and Cannibal Holocaust… By producing “The Road Killer”, I hope to make a horror movie that’s very true to the genre’s roots and takes the genre to another level, rather than demote it as a gory music video.”

“Making this movie is probably the biggest challenge of my life, but I enjoy every moment of it and don’t regret a thing. Despite facing serious financial issues and legal risks, we are 100 percent devoted to making this film as good as we possibly can and are committed to finishing it… We hope that The Road Killer will inspire people to not be afraid to make the movies they want to make.”

“I see film and movies as the most advanced form of art because they combine all types of artistic mediums such as music, photography, painting, colorizing, and narrative storytelling into one medium that when effectively produced can scare you, make you laugh your ass off, and make you cry. My biggest inspirations include Gaspar Noe, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, and Roman Polanski.”

Those are some pretty big shoes to fill, no? Check out the goods below to see how Jon and Chris are doing, and keep it here for more on The Road Killer as it comes.
