I love how vast the indie horror community has become the last few years. It seems like no matter how many films I hear about and review I still seem to come across more and more films that I have never heard of. One of those films is Morris County. I recently saw a lot of people posting pictures of this film on Facebook and after commenting on one of the pics I was able to gather quite a bit of information on it. I was also able to get a press release for the film that has more than enough info from the fine folks over at Beneath the Underground. Check out below what the press release had to say:
Award-winning writer/director Matthew Garrett (Beating Hearts) presents a trilogy of thematically connected stories as gruesome as they are tragic and heartfelt. In a performance praised by both Fangoria and Rue Morgue, Darcy Miller is Ellie, a damaged teenage girl harboring a terrible secret. Through the course of one traumatic day we learn what led this innocent girl down a path of self-destruction from which there is no return.
In The Family Rubin, an upper middle-class Jewish family struggles to keep up appearances as their seemingly perfect life begins to crack at the seams. Albie Selznick (Ricochet, The Young & The Restless) leads an ensemble cast in this shocking and heartbreaking take on the destruction of the modern American family.
Elderly Iris is laid off in Elmer & Iris, forcing her to join her curmudgeonly husband in early retirement. When Elmer suddenly dies, Iris decides to keep his decaying body around out of fear of living – and dying – alone. Pamela Stewart (Hal Hartley’s Trust and Amateur), Erik Fransden (The Colbert Report), and newcomer Alice Cannon star in this melancholy meditation on loss and the inescapable prison of old age.Starting on March 18th 2014, Morris County will be available for digital rental/purchase through Unearthed Films Online DVD Shop. There will be a DVD “Bootleg Edition” release available through the Beneath The Underground Facebook group for group members only with a 2 week window for purchase limited by the amount ordered.
Be sure to grab your copy of the film when it becomes available and keep an eye out for our review!
