A self absorbed sociopath begins to show her true colors when her foster family adopts another kid

Story

 

I’m the type of guy that loves writing horror but this is honestly something very different, it’s more of a psychological thriller with a high body count. Think of story elements similar to “The Good Son” mixed with “Terrifier 2” levels of gore. These characters are very complex yet realistic individuals with their own set of goals. You will feel for these characters and fear what’s to come. Unlike most films with similar themes, we will follow the antagonist. Alice, she’s a young self-absorbed sociopath that begins to unravel and show her true colors once her foster family adopts yet another kid to steal her spotlight.

Lisa is back to acting full time after raising her boys and married to corporate world for a couple decades. Born and raised in Missouri, she has performed in over 100 film, television, commercial, and theatre productions. Lisa started her career in Equity Waiver theatre then completed her Bachelor of Arts degree at UCLA while also studying Grotowski. She has always been serious about exploring how to express a character to full believability and thus hopefully touch the audience indefinitely. For her, making this impression is all that matters. Though Lisa may be best known for Alice Johnson in “A Nightmare On Elm Street 4, The Dream Master” and N5, The Dream Child, the other characters she has played in her career run a full gamut – from nuns to prostitutes. Her agent quotes, “A true chameleon actress.” Also, let’s not forget her infamous role as Yuta on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Known as the “Assassin,” Yuta is a property on The Next Generation Monopoly board. For many years, Lisa has had the pleasure of attending conventions all over the world meeting fans. She was recently nominated for Best Actress in the film “Mystery Spot” at the UK Fear Fest film festival and won 2022 Best Supporting actress at the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival in “Murder Anyone?” Lisa has several other projects that will coming out soon including “Woods Witch” with Tom Sizemore, “Don’t Suck” with comedian Jamie Kennedy, “Reunion from Hell 2” joined by several other horror fan actor favorites and “Demon Hunter: Time 2 Kill” which will premiere at the Dublin International Film Festival in October 2023.

Steven Anthony Morris – I’m an Actor, Writer, Director, and Producer living in Indianapolis, Indiana. My first feature film “He Knows” was released, in October 2022 on several streaming platforms such as Tubi and Amazon. Whenever my name is attached to a project I do whatever it takes to see it from concept to delivery. Despite only raising half the budget needed for my first feature film I was still able to cover the other half out of pocket. I worked two part-time jobs and donated plasma whenever I could to ensure the project was completed without compromising the vision. I put literal blood sweat and tears into making that film and I can guarantee to do the same for this one. Much like raising a kid, making a film takes a village. I hope you choose to join our village and help bring this Psychological Thriller to life.

Making a film can be very expensive. After wrapping up my first feature film “He Knows” I was able to realize how much everything truly costs to make. You want to deliver the best product possible which means hiring professionals to work long hours in order to make movie magic. This campaign is very important to me. I wish to ensure everyone involved in making this film is properly compensated for their time and efforts. The money from this campaign will go towards paying the cast and crew reasonable day rates as well as help cover travel, lodging, food, location, and equipment rentals. Despite only reaching fifty percent of our last film’s budget goals we still managed to deliver a beautiful final product. We’re extremely happy with the final results. For this film, I’d like to make sure we can meet the minimum goal for the projected budget before starting production. This is an all-or-nothing campaign and we will only be able to make this film if it’s something the fans want. We have a ton of love and support for our first film and hope to deliver something even bigger and better for our next one “Bad Apples” looks to be just that.  

 

More Info for Cast and Crew Coming Soon.

This is an all or nothing campaign. If we don’t reach our goals, your money is refunded back into your account. We believe in this story and will not make a film that doesn’t live up to the quality of the script.
