‘New Fears Eve’: P.J. Starks Provides An Exclusive Update
It has certainly been a while since we last reported on New Fears Eve, a very promising slasher film from writer, producer, and co-director P.J. Starks. Thankfully, Starks just provided us with an exciting new update on the upcoming film!
Read his full statement below:
“New Fears Eve is currently in post-production. The score composed by the insanely talented Frank Dormai was recently completed. He literally killed it. It’s very reminiscent of ’90s slashers like Urban Legend or I Know What You Did Last Summer. It gives the movie a big feel and I love everything about it. We wanted to ramp up the gore on a few of the kills, of which there are over forty. We felt they could be more gruesome; therefore, we shot some additional material. Everything was sent off to Thrive Colour to be graded. We just watched a nearly completed run-through. Man, it’s looking really fucking good.
Lastly, we’re waiting on the sound mix. Once those elements are finished, we’ll be ready to start submitting it to the distributors and film festivals. With New Fears Eve on the cusp of being finished, I’m getting anxious for everyone to see it. The truth of the matter is that it’s probably the second most personal script I’ve written. I used it to tackle my own feelings of losing my grandmother and going through a divorce. That was all from 2020-21. Well, this past October my mom passed away. It’ll be the first movie of mine she won’t get to see. It’s become bittersweet in a lot of ways.”
The very talented Starks is co-directing the film alongside Eric Huskisson, with Starks also providing the screenplay. Although it does not yet have a release date, we can expect to hear more about when New Fears Eve will become available as soon as a distributor comes on board. It sounds like this will be a slasher movie which fans of the subgenre simply cannot afford to miss. Especially since Starks has promised that New Fears Eve will contain over 40 kills.
Initially funded via Indiegogo, New Fears Eve will focus on a murderous psychopath known as The Doctor, who carries out a killing spree at a New Year’s Eve party taking place at the headquarters of Hooper Industries in Owensboro, Kentucky. The Doctor will be played by Jesse McDonald. Dave Sheridan, Hannah Fierman, Jeffrey Reddick, Felissa Rose, Sonya Delormier, Alyssa Rhoads, and Lily Claire Harvey also star in the film.
Starks is also keeping himself incredibly busy with his other endeavors. In addition to his work on New Fears Eve, he is also currently producing a number of other upcoming horror films, including The Boy from Below and Troma’s Sweet Meats. He also just finished working on Cryptids, which is now available on Blu-ray from Scream Team Releasing.
