New Trailer for Festival Hit STARFISH Arrives in Advance of US Theatrical Roadshow

One of the most deliciously perplexing films screened at Fantastic Fest in 2018 was Starfish; I’m talking Donnie Darko levels of mind-fuckery combined with creature effects reminiscent of Stranger Things, an apocalyptic atmosphere akin to The Mist, and the metaphysical musings of Annihilation. It’s a brilliant offering from writer/director A.T. White that hinges on a powerful lead performance from Virginia Gardner (Halloween 2018, Marvel’s The Runaways).
The film is going on a “Theatrical Roadshow” that will see it screening in over a dozen cities across America beginning March 13th and concluding on April 19th. Starfish will also be available on various VOD platforms beginning March 28th via Yellow Veil Pictures and 1091 Media’s The Orchard.
Check out the new trailer for Starfish at the top of the article and the synopsis below. We’ve also included a list of cities and dates where/when Starfish will screen in theaters.
Synopsis:
Gardner stars as Aubrey, a young woman
suffering from the death of a close friend. When a mysterious signal from an
unknown dimension summons the end of days, its appears as if only Aubrey is
left on earth. Trapped in the apartment of her recently deceased best friend,
the only clue she has is a single cassette left behind after her friend’s
death, labeled: “THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD.”
Thrust into a mystery orchestrated by her friend and stricken with grief, Aubrey begins to piece the clues together, uncovering a series of tapes all with pieces of the mystery signal. Along the way, progress is impeded when monstrous creatures begin to overrun the world and enclose in on her. Aubrey is forced to fight off the encroaching creatures and move beyond her own crippling grief in order to find the remaining tapes. But will completing the signal save the world?
