Listen to this team-up; “From the producers of Twilight and Madonna’s Maverick Films comes Sam’s Lake co-starring Fay Masterson (Resident Evil: Apocalypse).

The film will hit DVD in April by Lionsgate with a theatrical release beginning today by Cinema Epoch, the company behind Takashi Miike’s Demon Pond, Shane Ryan’s Amateur Porn Star Killer cult hit series, and Asian Stores starring James Kyson Lee (TV’s Heroes).”

That is a very interesting group of producers and distributers, to turn one very good looking short, into a feature length film. Check out the trailer and some screening information below.

Also director of Amateur Porn Star Killer, Shane Ryan will be live on Horror Yearbook Radio, Monday 2-2-09 10:00pm EST. Check it out on the Horror Movie Fans’ Network and give us a call (646) 716-7438.

Synopsis:

Inspired by a murder-mystery-turned-legend surrounding a massacre near “Sam’s Lake,” the film follows Sam, a young woman who, every summer, returns home to the secluded lakeside cottage she grew up in, to reconnect with her traditions and memories of the past deep within an isolated forest. This year’s guests are a group of hip, young urbanites, who join Sam on her annual trip. But when Sam and her childhood friend and local to the area, Jesse, take the group on an adventure to revisit the site of the murder they all come face to face with the terrifying legend of “Sam’s Lake.”

Sam’s Lake opens today, January 30 in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Grande for a regular run (with filmmaker Andrew Christopher Erin in attendance at the Sat/Sun night shows), and at the Laemmle Sunset 5 for Friday and Saturday midnight bookings. A February opening is planned for New York City.
