Scriptwriter John (H. Shelton) is under quite a bit of pressure, as he
needs to deliver a script to his producer (Metal Matt), who's already
musing about firing him - but he's suffering under acute writer's block.
Thank God then for his best buddy (Alex Reed), who has just what John (and
in fact any writer) needs under such circumstances: The Biook of the
Dead! John reads it, and to his amazement he has written and delivered
a script, the Script of the Dead, the very next day. Problem is,
that script is haunted if not worse ... Now this is a horror
short as indie as they come: Shot on a shoestring budget and thus pretty
much devoid of special effects and complex visuals, no elaborat camerawork
and shot in as few angles as possible. And in a way, this is also what
makes the film so endearing, it feels very pure and made by people who
care for the genre. And while the film certainly pokes some fun at genre
mainstays, it always does so with respect, making this a very enjoyable
watch for any genre fan in the process. ... and if this has
gotten you at all interested, this film will premiere on March 29th 2024
