Directed by Remy Grillo, The Resurrection of Charles Manson has recently been released by XYZ Films and we have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers!

The story surrounds a young couple hoping to create an aesthetically pleasing audition tape for  an up-and-coming Charles Manson film. But when the couple chooses an eclectic desert Airbnb  as the perfect backdrop, the dark events of the audition material slowly slip into their reality...  Eventually, they find themselves intertwined in an occult leader (Grillo)’s sinister plot.

Dare Angel produced in partnership with Mi Nene. Producers include Josh Plasse, Shakira  Barrera, Conor Allyn, Johnny James Fiore, Benjamin Anderson, Jake Allyn and Fabio Lo Fria.  Nidal Kahl, Bobby McMichael, Chido Nwokocha, and Dennis Echelberger Executive Produced.  

It was announced last year that XYZ Films had acquired all North American rights to the film.  The rights for the domestic distribution deal were brokered by XYZ Films’ James Emanuel  Shapiro and Pip Ngo, and by Margate House Films’ Conor Allyn, Benjamin Anderson, and Jake  Allyn on behalf of the filmmakers. Voltage Pictures has International rights.  

“Remy's vision for this terrifying, grounded thriller had us hooked from the start. As a company  that built its brand working with emerging genre filmmakers, we could not be more excited to  bring this film to audiences all over North America," said XYZ’s Pip Ngo.  

Remy mentioned "Charles Manson is a staple of pop culture to this day. But while many stories  have been told about him, XYZ Films and I wanted to explore where the children of Manson's  following stand in modern day. There is a dangerously close relevance between Manson's ideology and today's political and social atmosphere, and we believe it is time to resurrect the  conversation.” 

Starring Frank Grillo and directed by his son, Remy Grillo, the film was written by Josh Plasse and Brev Moss. Will Peltz (The Collection), Sarah Dumont, Jaime King (Sin City), Sydelle Noel (Black Panther), Katherine Hughes (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), Alex Fine, Josh Plasse and Kellen McAlone star alongside Grillo.
