Director of Photography Jose Zambrano Cassella sent us some brand new stills from his upcoming horror film “The Tenant” by director Ric La Monte and starring J La Rose ( Saw III , Saw IV), Michael Berryman, ( The Hills Have Eyes, X Files, Devil’s Rejects ), Bill Cobbs ( Night at the Museum, The Ultimate Gift ), Randy Molnar ( Larry The Cable Guy Health Inspector, Contract Killers, This Man’s Life ), Aerica D’Amaro ( Steam, Misconceptions, Road Trip ), John Kyle ( Black Water, The Woods Have Eyes ), Georgia Chris ( 100 Tears, Black Water ) Sylvia Boykin ( Recount ), Justin Smith ( As The World Turns ), Ashley Totin ( All My Children ), Jenn Sturger ( Maxim Top Twenty and Playboy Model ), and Miss Germany Miss Universe 2006 Natalie Ackermann.
Synopsis: The Tenant has all the required blood, gore, deaths cheesecake and beefcake, while incorporating a sophisticated and terrifying story line. The movie is also filled with nerve-racking tension, intense fear, shocking turns, exciting character development, and a never done before particularly effective special effects shot. Presented through stunning High Definition cinematography (CineAlta Cameras with Panavision prime lenses), complimented by a strong, powerful, and hypnotizing sound track in surround sound, with intertwining musical interludes and disturbing sound effects. An astonishing twist, coupled with a chilling surprise at the conclusion, serve to position the movie for a franchise sequel.
Post production is scheduled for the following 4-5 months and the movie is targeted for a locked picture later this year (2008), or early in 2009.
What the heck kind of “synopsis” is that? It didn’t tell me *anything* at all about what the movie’s about. Not that I need or even want to know much. In fact, something as basic as “it’s about an apartment complex with a new tenant the others don’t know about” would be fine. That’s just a guess, BTW. (But if it’s a remake of the Roman Polanski film, let me know.) But what was written above was in no way a synopsis. Anyhoo…
Soon to be released ! THE TENANT
SYNOPSIS:
A simple man, Dr. Walter Newman has high aspirations to cure all
disease through genetic manipulation. His obsession with his mission
draws him deeper into his own dark world, distracting him from his
wife Olivia and from his responsibilities to his patients at the
Edgewood Asylum. The doctor’s loyal but diabolical nurse,
Ms. Tinsley, decides to take matters into her own hands and in secret
she conducts her own experiment.
When Dr. Newman realizes what has been done, a deformed
creature that defies nature is created. Part human, part nightmare.
Dr. Newman knows what he must do, but is it already too late?
