Film Bridge After Dark has picked up worldwide rights to the new horror Girl Next, from director Larry Wade Carrell (Jacob, She Rises), writer/producer Zeph E. Daniel from his Crazed House production banner, and producer Loris Curci (Welcome to Acapulco, Nightworld).
Today, Dread Central is thrilled to exclusively debut the trailer for this gruseome tale of human trafficing and illicit experimentation. Give it a spin and read more about the movie below.
Synopsis:
Lorian West is perfect. She’s young, upscale, connected, the right school, the right politics, the classic blonde, blue-eyed American beauty. Unknown to Lorian though, she’s been targeted for abduction. She’s drugged and taken to a remote rundown ranch where international traffickers not only deliver women for sex, but change them into obedient, beautiful yet placid and willing-to-please sex dolls. They also kill the ones who resist the program. Sofia is the newest model from Heinrich, a kind of international trendy druggy scientist whose genius is using trauma-based mind control techniques along with other hideous extremes of physical and mental torture to create the perfect doll. Heinrich thinks Lorian is actually the next breakthrough model and is excited to raise the price of delivery.
Starring newcomer Lacey Cofran, alongside British actor Marcus Jean Pirae, Paula Mercenaro, and Rachel Alig, Girl Next is currently in post-production and is looking at a May 2020 release. Writer/producer Zeph E. Daniel is quoted saying that the story is based on real-life events. Daniel had written the cult-classic Society under his previous name Woody Keith. Directed by Brian Yuzna, Society received rave reviews when first released in 1989, and was rated 4/5 stars by “Empire”, who considered the film “Way ahead of its time, this is a balls-out satire on the disgraceful layers that can lurk just beneath the Avon surface.”
“Working on Girl Next with Zeph Daniel was a dream come true,” says Carrell. “His work on cult classics like Society and Bride of ReAnimator are a big part of where my inspiration to become a filmmaker began. He penned a brilliant script that combined with our talented cast and crew allowed us to craft something that is unique, original and unlike anything else out there.”
Film Bridge After Dark’s recent genre slate includes Trick from writer/director Patrick Lussier, the upcoming reimagining of the cult classic Castle Freak from director Tate Steinsiek and Porno from director Keola Racela.
