EXCLUSIVE ‘Dorothea’ Clip Teases The Victims of The Killer Granny
Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label DREAD is excited to release its latest true crime thriller, Dorothea. The film follows serial killer Dorothea Puente as she lures the vulnerable, kills without remorse, and buries secrets in her garden.
Read the full synopsis below:
Dorothea is a chilling true crime horror that unearths the monstrous secrets of Dorothea Puente, a soft-spoken grandmother who drugged, murdered, and buried her elderly and disabled tenants beneath her garden. Behind her warm smile lurked a predator who used kindness as bait and survival as justification. As the story peels back layers of trauma, deception, and calculated cruelty, it reveals a harrowing portrait of a woman shaped by abuse and driven by greed. Dorothea forces audiences to confront the terrifying truth that real evil often hides in plain sight.
In our exclusive clip from the film, we met a few of our killer’s unsuspecting victims:
Susan Priver (Ed Kemper) stars as the titular serial killer alongside Lew Temple (The Walking Dead), Brinke Stevens (House on Haunted Hill), Ginger Lynn (The Devil’s Rejects), Brenda James (Slither), Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian), Cyril O’Reilly (Murder, She Wrote), Ezra Buzzington (Ed Gein), Robert Miano (Fast & Furious), Brandon Kirk (Ed Kemper), and William Salyers (Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham Shadow).
Chad Ferrin (Pig Killer, H.P. Lovecraft’s the Old Ones, Ed Kemper) wrote and directed Dorothea. This is the second film as part of Dread’s inaugural slate of biographical true-crime horror films, following Ed Kemper. Richard Ramirez is set to release next.
Dorothea will have a limited theatrical run beginning on October 31 and will be available on digital and VOD on November 4, 2025.
