DEAD MEDIA writer / director Joseph Scrimshaw is taking the film on the road just in time for the Halloween season! Along with details on upcoming dates where you can check out the film on the big screen, we have a look at the official trailer:
"DEAD MEDIA follows the tale of a troubled young woman named Maggie who is just trying to enjoy movie night with her two best friends. After scrolling through titles, they try to stream a long-lost '90s horror cult-classic, NIGHT OF THE LURCHERS. Before they get far, Maggie's lonely super-fan uncle drops by with a DVD for the gang to experience the film in all of it's bloody, bonus content-loaded glory.
Digging into the physical media, they discover the disc is haunted - and horrors of the film start to materialize in their living room.
DEAD MEDIA isn't just an exciting homage to horror and cult cinema, but a love letter to the bygone era of DVD bonus features. Eschewing the tropes of traditional genre fare, Joseph Scrimshaw's feature debut is simultaneously a fun, inventive creature feature and an emotionally resonant, thought-provoking character piece."
