The Twisted Twins stick their hands into Lisa Ovies’ PUPPET KILLER.
Contemporary genre movie icons Jen and Sylvia Soska are gearing up to star in, co-write and produce director Lisa Ovies’ new horror comedy PUPPET KILLER.
Here’s the synopsis:
Years after the mysterious disappearance of his step mother, Jamie and his friends return to his family’s cabin that holds a very dark secret for a Christmas getaway, but the holidays always have a way of letting these things out. Convinced that his childhood puppet is a magically animated killer, will Jamie be able to save his friends from a blood body count or is he the one who is actually crazy?
From the official press release:
No stranger to the film community, former student of Chicago Second City Lisa Ovies is an award winning producer, writer, director, and actress with over 12 years of experience in the business. Commencing shooting this winter, PUPPET KILLER marks her feature film directorial debut. The story itself is a macabre satire about the co-relation between violence in film and television and violence in reality. Lisa is an avid lover of film and horror and this project has been years in the making for her.
“It has been almost two years since I came up with this idea and I can’t explain the joy I feel watching it come to life. I created my production company because I was tired of waiting around hoping for opportunities and ready to start kicking down doors. 5 years later I am making my dream film with the strongest cast I have ever been honoured to work with,” says Lisa.
“We see a lot of people talking about the severe gender misrepresentation behind the camera in the film world, but we don’t often see people doing something to change that. Ten years ago we took our first steps with our debut feature film and diversity representation remains a struggle in the industry. I believe in Lisa Ovies, I love her project, I want to see it made, and I am going to be a part of making that happen. I’m not just going to talk about diversity, I’m going to do something about it,” says Sylvia, President of Twisted Twins Productions.
PUPPET KILLER is written by Kevin Mosley (SUSPENSION) and the Soska Sisters. There will be more surprises for horror fans revealed about the film so be sure to stay tuned. Filming begins in Vancouver this Friday.
