If there’s one thing that horror teaches over and over again, it’s not to mess with the dead. The characters in indie gem Lizzie Lazarus, acquired by Bloody Disgusting, are poised to learn that the hard way.
Channeling Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, writer/director Aviv Rubinstien’s twisted psychological horror film builds to a shocker of a finale everyone will be talking about when it arrives tomorrow on both Digital HD and SCREAMBOX!
In the film, featuring stand-out performances from Omar Maskati and Lianne O’Shea…
“Summer Solstice, 1990, two strangers carry a corpse through the woods looking for a mythical zone they believe will bring the dead body back to life. But what secrets will come back with it?”
Filmmaker Aviv Rubinstien said in a statement, “This film was a labor of love born out of getting a little ‘cabin fever’ in covid and reevaluating all of my life decisions. What Lianne (O’Shea, who plays Bethany) and I developed was a story about grief, loss, and guilt, cults and witches, and the question of how far you’d go to bring someone you loved back from the dead.
“We set it in 1990, not just because that was the year of a real occult disappearance on the summer solstice, but we wanted to pay homage to 90s independent films that take place all in one night, like Before Sunrise, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and Gerry (which is 2002 but you get the picture!) with a Wicker Man twist.
“The film was self-funded, and I got the opportunity to collaborate with some of my best friends (and my now wife), who all busted their asses for this film. And we made a great new friend in Omar Maskati, who plays Eli. We shot it over the course of ten overnights, and everyone was super game, living together in Airbnbs in Reno, NV. The whole thing felt like summer camp, and it was an experience I’ll never forget.”
