Lovecraftian Horror-Comedy ‘Minore’ Rises from the Sea Next Week

Lovecaftian monsters rise from the sea in Minore, coming to DVD and VOD next Tuesday, September 30, from Freestyle Digital Media.

The Greek cosmic horror-adventure-comedy is directed by visual effects artist Konstantinos Koutsoliotas (Guardians of the Galaxy, Nightmare Alley).

On a steamy summer night at the Greek seaside, a young sailor arrives in search of his absent musician father. As he navigates the local nightlife, he meets a sympathetic waitress. The strange old man at the hotel whom the sailor suspects to be his father introduces him to a group of local taverna musicians.

Life seems to go on as normal; however, strange creatures plague the city, attacking people and pulling others into the sea with strange dreams. The old man is hit by a car, and his wild ramblings hint that there’s a connection between the monsters and the local music he plays. The church congregation is turned into gooey corpses. The taverna is dramatically attacked and the army blockades the streets.

The musicians join forces with a bodybuilder, a granny, local thugs, an undead priest and the sailor for an ultimate showdown with the monsters at the local church if they can just find the right song.

Davide Tucci, Maria-Nefeli Douka, Eleftheria Komi, Efi Papatheodorou, Christos Kontogeorgis, Daphne Alexander, Stelios Dimopoulos, Nicolas Bravos, Apollon Bollas, Constantin Symsiris, Makis Papadimitratos, Meletis Georgiadis, Igor Górewicz, Christos Callow, and Giannis Zouganelis star.

Koutsoliotas co-wrote the script with storyboard/concept artist Elizabeth E. Schuch (Wonder Woman, Pacific Rim: Uprising).

“Minore is my love letter to Greece — a delirious cocktail of Lovecraftian monsters, splatter, bouzouki, awkward dinners, and unexpected song and dance,” said Koutsoliotas. “It’s Greece like you’ve never seen it: heartfelt, hilarious, and dripping with cosmic gore.”
