It’s Amy’s 18th birthday. While most girls her age are celebrating with friends and painting the town, Amy is checking herself out of the insane asylum. Her mother Jane decides to take her on a family get away, to celebrate her birthday and re-acclimate her to everyday life. A weekend of, camp fires, and cotton candy socials, to rekindle family ties, quickly turns to the most horrific family reunion in American history. And it all goes down at ANDERS MANOR.
Producer Tommy DeNucci (Army Of The Damned, Almost Mercy) has joined Executive Producers Glenn Jeffery, Matt O’Conner, David Gere, Richard Switzer, Tanya Lynch, and tapped Jonathan Schermerhorn to direct the film.
Schermerhorn will make his directorial debut based off the screenplay, written by Mike Messier, Tom DeNucci, Matt O’Conner, and Glenn Jeffery. Ryan Sweeney will serve as the director of photography.
Christina Robinson (Dexter) has been brought on to play the lead, Amy. Godsmack front man, Sully Erna has also come aboard, Rachel True (The Craft) along with, Kevin Nash (The Punisher, Magic Mike, John Wick) who is doing something completely out of character as Reverend Thomas, TNA Impact Wrestling Superstar “The Miracle” Michael Bennett will be portraying a wild and unruly redneck named Darsaw.
Other actors appearing as guests at ANDERS MANOR, will be played by Tanja Lynch (Bleed For This), Eric Lutes (How To Get Away With Murder), Mark Sullivan, David Tessier, Michael Zuccola, Danielle Guldin, Mike Messier, Pamela Morgan, and Armen Garo (Vinyl, The Sopranos), Chelsea Vale (Mostly Ghostly, Inner Demons) round out the cast.
“The character that I am playing, Reverend Thomas, is not who he at first appears to be. It’s well crafted and dark.” – Kevin Nash
“I’ve been a fan of pro wrestling for as long as I can remember. So for me it’s really great to have these guys on set. There’s so much performance art that goes into what they do on any given night, from cutting promo’s, to embodying their character as they walk down the aisle, right down to all the story telling they do in the ring with the match itself. It comes naturally for them to channel that into a movie.” – Producer, Tom DeNucci
“I’ve been passionately involved in casting pro wrestlers in several movies, and I think this one is proving to be cool and exciting. We get to see Kevin Nash in a role that you would never expect, and we also have a rising star in Mike Bennett, really get down and dirty in a unique and physical role. Combine that with Godsmack’s frontman, Sully Erna – that’s some serious horsepower on set.” – Executive Producer, David Gere
“I went to WWE live events as a kid and am really excited to see these guys get in front of our cameras now giving it their all in what is sure to be intense performances.” – Executive Producer, Richard Switzer
This could be the most intense work of horror to ever come out of Woodhaven Media. Rhode Island is sure to be drenched in blood once filming is complete.
