Domênica, Toda de branco... (2024), dirigido por Maria Clara Portela e Raíssa Anjos

[brokehorrorfan]

Director's Cut will be released in select theaters on October 31 before hitting VOD at a later date. The 2024 indie slasher draws influence from '80s and '90s horror as well as the punk music scene.

Louis Lombardi (24) stars with Tyler Ivey, Danielle Kotch, Greg Poppa, Louis Rocky Bacigalupo, Brandy Ochoa, Haley Cassidy, Darrin Hickok, and Lucy Hart. Writer-director Don Capria makes his feature debut.

Read on for the trailer and synopsis.

A Long Island punk band meets a mysterious director through social media who generously offers to shoot their first music video for free. Desperate for fame, they drive deep into the Pennsylvania woods in hopes of making a killer music video. But after a long night of drinking with the gregarious director, the band wakes up to find a very different version of him on set. Egos and opinions clash, with the director unveiling a terrible anger and uncompromising need for total control. As his professionalism breaks down, so does his sanity – with the unhinged director and his assistant turning the band members into the unwitting stars of his very own snuff film.
