‘The Curse of Professor Zardonicus’ Is A Wild Found Footage Dive Into A Strange Urban Legend [Trailer]
Found footage is the perfect medium for exploring urban legends. From Bigfoot to the Jersey Devil, first-person POV storytelling can make the tales you grew up hearing even more terrifying. But, some filmmakers use the medium to create their own mythology. Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick did it with The Blair Witch Project. And now director Gabriel Theis follows in their footsteps with his directorial debut The Curse of Professor Zardonicus.
It tells the story of Greg, a college filmmaker trying to figure out what to do for his film final. Then, he meets Darren, a fellow student who believes in the urban legend of Professor Zardonicus. Zardonicus was a university professor who was changed by an accident in the old science building on campus. What follows is a descent into secrets, lies, and delusions. Is the legend real? You’ll have to watch to find out.
Watch the trailer below:
Theis wrote, directed, and starred in the film as Greg. Alec White plays Darren and also served as the production coordinator. Lucio Vasquez is the cinematographer and editor for The Curse of Professor Zardonicus.
The Curse of Professor Zardonicus is available now to preorder. It hits digital platforms on April 29.
