Details are slim, but as of this morning it was officially announced that Hellraiser II’s Barbie Wilde will be returning to the horror genre in a new anthology titled, Bad Medicine. This is not only Ms. Wilde’s first horror credit since her role in the iconic Pinhead franchise, but it is also her first recorded feature film credit in fourteen years! Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!!!
Bad Medicine is currently seeking extra funding through Kickstarter.com. The following is lifted directly from its campaign page.
“Anyone who remembers the classic horror anthologies such as ASYLUM, with Robert Powell and Peter Cushing, or King and Romero’s CREEPSHOW will have an idea of what VLM Productions is hoping to achieve with its next project. BAD MEDICINE is a psychological horror film that contains five stories – or segments – united by a wraparound story. The film is set in a modern day mental health unit where a therapist is holding a group therapy session. Five participants each recount their story in the hope the therapist can resolve their trauma and help them to move on. But what happens if the therapist is not what he seems and has something far more sinister in mind for his patients?
The project will be shot in five phases. The first installment, Tainted Love, is expected to shoot in late April, 2014.
Your donations will help to hire professional crew and equipment, industry standard sound, make up and FX artists to ensure that what ends up on screen is of high quality and reflective of the standards an audience expects from a film on a big screen. There will also be a heavy emphasis on practical creature FX as seen in seminal movies such as AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and THE THING.
As a project, we at VLM Productions are excited at the prospect of revisiting the classic kind of storytelling that has made shows like THE TWILIGHT ZONE, TALES FROM THE CRYPT and OUTER LIMITS such a long lasting success. We believe that quality filming making from an award winning company BAD MEDICINE will resonate with any member of the audience who wants more from their movie experience than cheap make up and meaningless violence.”
Bad Medicine is written by Bram Stoker Award Winner and #1 Amazon Best Seller Dave Jeffery. Other cast members include Derek Melling, Anthony Miles, Mark Rathbone, and Laurence Saunders.
