TYPHOON FILMS TO RELEASE THE KILLING GAMES APRIL 22nd.
(Edmonton) April 14th, 2014 Typhoon Films has announced that THE KILLING GAMES will be released worldwide on Apple Itunes, Google Play and other outlets on April 22nd, 2014. The feature film had its Worldwide Premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival, and it’s U.S. Premiere in San Francisco at Another Hole In The Head Film Festival. Its last stop on the circuit was at Shock Stock Horror Convention in London, Ontario this past weekend.
THE KILLING GAMES ran into its first hurdle when the Edmonton International Film Festival Chairman told Director Barry J. Gillis that the movie was too violent for their film festival. Gillis battled with the film festival to screen the movie, but to no avail. It was a bitter pill to swallow, and Gillis went public with his displeasure, which in turn led one of the festival organizers to tip off other festivals in a private film festival Facebook group to blacklist Gillis and his movie.
Despite the backlash from various festival organizers, Bruce Fletcher programmer with the Calgary International Film Festival requested a screener, and loved the movie so much, that the movie had a very successful debut in Calgary in front of a wild group of genre fans who thoroughly enjoyed the movie. THE KILLING GAMES has since put crowds into frenzy wherever it has screened.
THE KILLING GAMES opens with a scene where a teenage girl Elysia (Yunona Anders) accidentally witnesses a sadistic killing by sociopathic serial killers Son of Satan, (Edwin Autridge) and Dirty Jesus (John Scott), who, once they finish their work, spot the girl and give chase. Meanwhile, Elysia's dad, the
world-weary Birdman (Kelly A.H. Bird) is at home caring for his invalid wife. When Elysia don’t come home at the usual time, Birdman begins to worry about the whereabouts of his daughter.
Not far away is a roving gang of criminals headed by Alex (Alex Sharpe), with their fingers in all sorts of vague illegal pies, including drug dealing and armed robbery. But after a growly-voiced henchman (Toby S. Krekoski) botches a stick-up job that results in multiple murders, Alex suggests they head off to see an old friend he hasn't seen in years, to lay low for a while. Soon an ill-fated confrontation leads to a bloody and most unforgettable climax.
THE KILLING GAMES also features Kim Sonderholm, (CRAIG, LITTLE BIG BOY, THE HORROR VAULT) who stars as the Big Boss in the movie. Sonderholm is also set to star in the horror movie HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS which starts filming August 18th, 2014, in Alberta, Canada. HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS will be Directed by Barry J. Gillis, and will star a big name known to all horror fans. More announcements concerning HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS will be made in the future.
TOM H'S THOUGHTS:
I just watched the trailer for “The Killing Games” Directed by Barry J. Gillis! It says it is the film that is terrifying and emotionally disturbing that can cause never ending nightmares! I have to see it! I really was excited about the trailer after watching it and I feel THIS MAY BE THAT FILM! Honestly though people; I don’t get scared or disturbed easy so if this film delivers even half of what it says then I call it a fucking legendary film! These guys kicked ass on the trailer and everything I have read on the film so far is really good!
I know I sound like I am mocking the film; I’ m not! I actually think it’s cool that they are bold enough to put it out there and truly believe in their film! I will get to do a review for the film in the next week or so and this is a really fucking crazy exciting time for me! I accept the challenge and I promise that if this film delivers the terror and disturbance it says; This guy will be one very happy person!
