The Wicked Sick: From Facebook: "An 80's throwback style horror movie, featuring an all-star Horror cast! Written and directed by Robert Rusler.
On her deathbed, successful businessman Dave Gorman's mother reveals that he is not her only son. Dave, along with his wife Christine and their two teenage children Jon and Emily, embarks on a dangerous journey to the central New York town of Northwood in an attempt to locate Leonard—the brother he never knew existed.
Soon, Dave and his family find that this is no ordinary town and Leonard is no ordinary inhabitant.
Leonard once institutionalized at Northwood Asylum—home to America's worst, mentally deranged criminals—lead a patient revolt ending with the fiery destruction of their prison. Before his exodus from Northwood Asylum, Leonard brainwashed the other patients into believing he is the Messiah. Since, Leonard's deranged cult has held the town of Northwood hostage with designs of a greater escape and a promise from Leonard for salvation and eternal life.
When the Gorman family arrives, Leonard blames Dave for his tormented life of misery and is more interested in revenge than a family reunion. Separated and outnumbered in a town with no cell service and no help from the frightened locals, Dave and his family face a mad man and his Psycho Cult Posse with a tyrannical hidden agenda. To survive, they must learn the true meanings of acceptance, forgiveness and loyalty while discovering a deadly secret about Dave that is perhaps better left forgotten.
Starring WILLIAM FORSYTHE, SHERILYN FENN, MARSHAL BELL, JACKSON ROWDEN, WILLIAM SANDERSON, KEITH DAVID, JAMES DUVAL, CLIFTON COLLINS JR., JOHN ORTIZ, SEAN CLARK, MARK PATTON, DAVID HACKETT and many more to come!"

The psychological horror-thriller was written and directed by Tony Wash, whose short film (“THE MUCK”) was met with critical acclaim at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival.

The film follows three siblings as they return home to reconcile the murder of their parents 20 years earlier, and discover a startling connection to a local urban legend.
Domestic sales are being handled by Paradigm, who also represented this year’s SXSW film “I DREAM TOO MUCH.” Jason Howard, Tommy Vlahopoulos, Tom Chopkowski and Matthew Lamothe are serving as executive producers.
