That’s the artwork for the upcoming DVD release (date not set) you see on the right. The film stars Robin Lord Taylor of Fox Searchlight’s Another Earth as well as newcomer Amy Crowdis and Josh Caras and is described as “a strange, gripping holiday tale of grief, love, and the horrors of loneliness.’
Calvo previously directed The Haunting of Amelia (also known as The Other Side of the Tracks). Head inside for a trailer and for news about the upcoming film Poe.
Poe follows Dr. Andrew Casey (David Fine) who is a serial killer known by the name of “The Chef”. His need for notoriety causes Dr. Andrew Casey to seek out writer Johnathan Poe (Stelio Savante), a descendant of the famed writer Edgar Allan Poe and a brilliant writer in his own right, with an offer to write his biography. Poe is intrigued and agrees to the assignment. Dr. Casey along with his butler Mr. Peeples (Mike Iorio) lures women to his home under the alias of film director Jack Conway with the pretense of meeting to discuss a well-paying role. Once the women arrive, they are tied up, drugged and eventually sliced up to be used for meat to feed the homeless at the Help Feeding Foundation soup kitchen. Once at the house, Poe is forced to witness all manner of horrors without the ability to either escape or help the women who have been captured. That’s just a part of this ribald mystery.
We’ll keep you posted on a specific release date when it comes in.
