Perkins 14 Trailer

PERKINS' 14, currently in post production in NYC, is the first feature film to be developed entirely over the Internet. What a year ago may have been a YouTube sensation might now be a box office success. Produced by After Dark Films, and Massify in association with FanLib, PERKINS' 14 will be distributed in theatres nationwide (January 2009) as part of the third After Dark Horrorfest. Today the trailer has hit the net and you can check it out below. Personally I was hoping for much more but I do like the logline: This time horror fans, the blood is on your hands.

Directed by award winning filmmaker Craig Singer (Dark Ride, Dead Dogs Lie, A Good Night to Die), with a screenplay by Lane Shadgett (Luna Park, All Lost Souls), PERKINS' 14 was developed online at Massify.com. Writers were invited to upload story pitches, and actors submitted audition videos. The site's community members then voted on their favorite story and on which actors they thought deserved to be cast in the four main roles. The winning idea, submitted by Jeremy Donaldson, follows Robert Perkins, who at age six, becomes mentally unstable when his parents are brutally murdered inside their home. His psychosis has him living the rest of his life convinced that the killers will return in the future to kill him as well. At age 34, Perkins kidnaps 14 people from his hometown of Stone Cove and brainwashes them, creating a unified team of psycho killers.
