As his critically acclaimed Queen of Blood continues its festival run, the indie filmmaker, musician, writer and Fangoria/Gorezone editor Chris Alexander will begin work on his next feature film: a violent, erotic, psychological indie thriller called Female Werewolf.
The film tells the story of a woman on the brink of madness, marginalized and isolated, whose fevered dreams are causing radical changes to her mind and body. As she further loses touch with reality, she slowly, surely, morphs into a monster
The movie, like his previous features including 2012s multiple-award winning Blood for Irina (out now on Blu-ray and DVD from TLA/Autonomy Pictures), will be written, directed, edited, shot and scored by Alexander and produced by TLA Entertainment Groups Derek Curl.
Female Werewolf falls in line with my interest in stories about women in extreme situations, realized in deliberately abstract ways while trading in well-worn genre iconography, says Alexander. The film is inspired in part by Rino Di Silvestros exploitation classic Legend of the Werewolf Woman, a film I greatly admire, as well as Jess Francos Female Vampire, a picture I reference often and of course, Polanskis Repulsion. But Female Werewolfs style, dreamy tone and sensualized violence are something different, something unique to my personal vision. Im excited to bring this one to life.
