The production team behind the
Adam Ahlbrandt double feature
Buried In Flesh (
Cross Bearer, a gritty arthouse slasher, and
The Cemetery, an ultra-violent possession tale) is pleased to announce its U.S. premiere at
Pollygrind Film Festival has been awarded
Best Horror Movie (The Cemetery). Also taken home was
Best Use of Blood/Gore (The Cemetery), the
Director’s Showcase Award to Ahlbrandt for his accomplishments with Buried In Flesh, and the
Newcomer Award to lead actress
Natalie Jean for her performances in both features.
Jean and Ahlbrandt, along with SPFX director
Doug Sakmann
co-produced the duo and spent the bulk of 2013 traveling cross-country
to fests and conventions, ultimately growing a support system within the
horror, underground, and art community. Commendatory reviews from
Horrorhound Magazine,
Rue Morgue,
Horror Society,
Wicked Channel,
Decibal Magazine,
Lloyd Kaufmann,
Film Threat,
Horror Happens Radio Show,
Cinema Head Cheese,
and a number of underground bloggers, critics, and podcasts preceeded
the offical Buried In Flesh premiere (in part by the support of
Pollygrind founder
Chad Clinton Freeman). Previous nods to the features include
Best Feature (The Cemetery,
Portage International Film Festival),
Best Actress (Natalie Jean, Portage International Film Festival),
Director’s Choice Award (The Cemetery,
Chicago Horror Film Festival),
The Five Must-See Films of Pollyrind (Buried In Flesh,
Vegas Seven),
The Top Five Indie Films of 2012 (Cross Bearer,
Rue Morgue),
The 25 Best Horror Features of 2012 (Cross Bearer,
Horror Society),
Top 33 Extremely Dangerous and Disturbing Films of the Last 10 Years (Cross Bearer,
Jay Horror Happens Kay).Though
different in tone and style each is fraught with filth, gore, and a
surprising amount of heart (both literally and metaphorically), and are
complimented by Ahlbrandt’s praised cinematic eye. The films will first
be available early next year through German distributor
Illusions Unltd.
Ahlbrandt and his team are currently in discussions with several
distributors and seek to have a US release within the same time frame.
Horror fans can meet Miss Jean AND get a final sneak preview of both features at the
JABB 48-hour Film Fest, a part of the horror uber-convention
Days of the Dead Chicago (November
15th-17th, Chicago Marriott Schaumburg, 50 N Martingale Road
Schaumburg, Illinois 60173 USA). Natalie will be hosting the JABB Fest
as well as appearing at Days of the Dead all weekend.
