FROM "SAWYER MASSACRE" TO "UNSEEN", INDIE HORROR IS CROWDSOURCING YOUR NEXT NIGHTMARE
Here at Macabre Daily, we firmly believe that the future of the horror genre rests on the shoulders of independent filmmakers. While studios continue to reboot, requel, and restart franchises to varying degrees of success, independent horror is blazing original trails that don’t rely on nostalgia to solicit your interest. This is why we are incredibly excited that the folks behind the crowdfunded TCM prequel THE SAYWER MASSACRE are again raising money to bring original horror to the masses with UNSEEN!
Check out the press release and teaser below, and if you’re interested in supporting the film please donate to the crowdfunding campaign.
Sequanda Films launched a pre-production Indiegogo campaign for the psychological horror film “Unseen” on May 16th, 2023. Unseen is the follow-up film from director Steve Merlo after releasing The Sawyer Massacre last fall, which is the very first feature-length Texas Chain Saw Massacre fan film and serves as an unofficial prelude to the original classic.
Logline:
In the aftermath of an unknown disaster, a mentally unstable man attempts to satisfy his conscience while tormenting a woman with an abusive past.
Unseen will feature well-known horror icon Felissa Rose and introduce young actress Trinity Chase in the lead role of “Crystal”. Also among the cast is Brett Wagner (Leatherface for the first kill) of the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, who will be playing Crystal’s father Bob. Much of the cast is well-known in the horror community.
Teaming up with indie film production companies Twitch Twitch Productions and AKA Productions, Director Steve Merlo is ready to bring a dark and atmospheric horror film that puts you right into the mind of the killer. Also on the team is SFX artist Thomas Smith of Sick & Twisted FX and west coast based cinematographer, William D. Amendola.
