TYPHOON FILMS TO RELEASE THE KILLING GAMES
APRIL 22nd.
(Edmonton) April 14th,
2014 Typhoon Films has announced that THE KILLING GAMES will be released worldwide
on Apple Itunes, Google Play and other outlets on April 22nd, 2014. The feature
film had its Worldwide Premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival, and
it’s U.S. Premiere in San Francisco at Another Hole In The Head Film Festival. Its
last stop on the circuit was at Shock Stock Horror Convention in London,
Ontario this past weekend.
THE KILLING GAMES ran
into its first hurdle when the Edmonton International Film Festival Chairman told
Director Barry J. Gillis that the movie was too violent for their film festival.
Gillis battled with the film festival to screen the movie, but to no avail. It
was a bitter pill to swallow, and Gillis went public with his displeasure,
which in turn led one of the festival organizers to tip off other festivals in
a private film festival Facebook group to blacklist Gillis and his movie.
Despite the backlash from
various festival organizers, Bruce Fletcher programmer with the Calgary International
Film Festival requested a screener, and loved the movie so much, that the movie
had a very successful debut in Calgary in front of a wild group of genre fans
who thoroughly enjoyed the movie. THE KILLING GAMES has since put crowds into frenzy
wherever it has screened.
THE KILLING GAMES opens
with a scene where a teenage girl Elysia (Yunona Anders) accidentally witnesses
a sadistic killing by sociopathic serial killers Son of Satan, (Edwin Autridge)
and Dirty Jesus (John Scott), who, once they finish their work, spot the girl
and give chase. Meanwhile, Elysia's dad, the
world-weary Birdman
(Kelly A.H. Bird) is at home caring for his invalid wife. When Elysia don’t
come home at the usual time, Birdman begins to worry about the whereabouts of
his daughter.
Not far away is a roving
gang of criminals headed by Alex (Alex Sharpe), with their fingers in all sorts
of vague illegal pies, including drug dealing and armed robbery. But after a
growly-voiced henchman (Toby S. Krekoski) botches a stick-up job that results
in multiple murders, Alex suggests they head off to see an old friend he hasn't
seen in years, to lay low for a while. Soon an ill-fated confrontation leads to
a bloody and most unforgettable climax.
THE KILLING GAMES also
features Kim Sonderholm, (CRAIG, LITTLE BIG BOY, THE HORROR VAULT) who stars as
the Big Boss in the movie. Sonderholm is also set to star in the horror movie
HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS which starts filming August 18th, 2014, in Alberta,
Canada. HOUSE OF MANY SORROWS will be Directed by Barry J. Gillis, and will
star a big name known to all horror fans. More announcements concerning HOUSE
OF MANY SORROWS will be made in the future.
TOM H'S THOUGHTS:
I just watched the
trailer for “The Killing Games” Directed by Barry J. Gillis! It says it is the
film that is terrifying and emotionally disturbing that can cause never ending
nightmares! I have to see it! I really was excited about the trailer after watching
it and I feel THIS MAY BE THAT FILM! Honestly though people; I don’t get scared
or disturbed easy so if this film delivers even half of what it says then I
call it a fucking legendary film! These guys kicked ass on the trailer and
everything I have read on the film so far is really good!
I know I sound like I am
mocking the film; I’ m not! I actually think it’s cool that they are bold
enough to put it out there and truly believe in their film! I will get to do a
review for the film in the next week or so and this is a really fucking crazy
exciting time for me! I accept the challenge and I promise that if this film
delivers the terror and disturbance it says; This guy will be one very happy
person!
