A vampire thriller set in the 1800s
Erica Leerhsen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003) will star in Phobia for director Jon Keeyes (American Nightmare).
Shooting commences the first week of October in Dallas, Texas.
Anne Gibson’s script is said to combine Gothic horror with an Agatha Christie style murder mystery.
Set again the backdrop of Paris in 1885 where a serial killer is draining victims of their blood.
Upon finishing her studies at a revolutionary French medical school teaching hypnosis, Dr. Lesley Parker (Leerhsen), prepares for her long journey home to San Francisco to open her own psychiatric practice. But her plans are interrupted when she meets Val Drakul, a young Romanian man traumatized by his family’s tragic and mysterious past. He needs help, and so at the urging of her new-found colleague, Dr. Sigmund Freud, Lesley takes Val to San Francisco â making him part of a new group of patients suffering from phobias. But when the patients start dying one by one, it seems the Parisian killer might be among them â and Val â he might be a vampire.
Chase Jeffery will star as Val Drakul, the man tormented by a family curse, and Matthew Tompkins is as I.M. Casey, a mysterious stranger tracking Val.
