Below Zero, the recently produced horror-thriller starring Edward Furlong (Terminator 2, American History X, The Green Hornet), Michael Berryman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Hills Have Eyes, Scooby Doo, Weird Science), and Kristin Booth (Young People F*cking, Defendor, The Kennedys) will be released on DVD in North America on August 28th via Screen Media.
Inspired by true events, Below Zero is a terrifying tale that will have
you guessing until the final chapter. Trapped in an abandoned
slaughterhouse, a desperate screenwriter (Furlong) paralyzed by writer’s
block is tormented by a horrific serial killer (Berryman) of his own
creation. Locked in a freezer, he sinks into a claustrophobia-induced
paranoia, where he can’t distinguish what is real from what is written,
with his life hanging on every page.
"I call this film an
autobiographical horror," says writer/producer, Signe Olynyk, who
struggled with her own case of writer's block. "You've heard of method
acting? You could say I'm a 'method writer'." In order to complete the
script, Olynyk arranged to have herself physically locked in the meat
freezer of an abandoned slaughterhouse. After camping out for five days,
she emerged with the script for Below Zero.
"The film is
extremely suspenseful. More of a thriller, than a horror,” adds
producing partner, Bob Schultz. "As producers, we wanted to create a
film that would appeal to horror fans, but also capture a mainstream
audience and bring something new to the genre." Filmed entirely at the
same location as where the script was written, Schultz credits Olynyk
for writing the script to be "...a cool, twisty story within a story,
within a real-life story.”
