Richard Bates, Jr.’s first three films, Excision, Suburban Gothic, and Trash Fire, comprise a “Coming of Age Trilogy” highlighting experiences that represent high school, college, and adulthood. His next film, Tone-Deaf, seems full of grown-up problems.
The film stars Robert Patrick, Amanda Crew, Hayley Marie Norman, Johnny Pemberton, Nancy Linehan Charles, AnnaLynne McCord, Keisha Castle-Hughes, with Ray Wise and Kim Delaney. Look for it in theaters and On Demand beginning August 23rd.
Synopsis:
After losing her job and imploding her latest dysfunctional relationship, Olive (Amanda Crew) flees the city for the weekend, escaping to the countryside for some peace and self-reflection. She rents an ornate country house from an eccentric widower named Harvey (Robert Patrick). Soon two generations collide with terrifying results as Olive awakens Harvey’s homicidal tendencies and is plunged into a blood-soaked fight for her life. More than your average slasher film, Tone-Deaf provides a dark critique of the bizarre cultural and political climate that currently exists.
