"Kill Theory is the Eighth and Final Selected Film for the 2010 After Dark Horrorfest

KILL THEORY, the eighth and final pick for After Dark Films Horrorfest 4, was announced last week by ADF CEO Courtney Solomon. The national film festival opens January 29, 2010 for one-week in 25 markets.

KILL THEORY was written by Kelly Palmer and directed by Chris Moore (Producer, Good Will Hunting and upcoming Adjustment Bureau). Starring roles are filled by Agnes Bruckner, Patrick Flueger, Taryn Manning, Teddy Dunn, Ryanne Duzich, Daniel Franzese, Theo Rossi, Steffi Wickens, and Kevin Gage. The film was produced by Dan Abrams, Julie Dangel and Amanda White. Adam Rosenfelt, Chris Bender, and Morris Bart also produced.

In KILL THEORY, a group of college friends visit a secluded vacation home to celebrate their impending graduation. The fun doesn’t last long, however. Forced to participate in a deadly experiment by a sadistic psychopath, each friend must kill in order to survive. As tension builds and friendships crack, these friends realize that only one can make it out alive. Loyalties are tested, tensions escalate and hope fades as each one struggles to survive.

Dana Lambert, VP of Acquisitions at After Dark, brokered the deal with Moore, Abrams, and Barry Littman.

States ADF producer Stephanie Caleb, “We have yet another disturbing addition to this year’s Horrorfest. Kill Theory really explores the limitations of friendship and asks the question, ‘What would you do to live another day?’”
Says Director Moore, “The idea in this movie scared the hell out of me. I was so excited to get to make this my directorial debut.” Adds Producer Abrams, “…the psychological grinder that these characters go through is what really grabbed me. It was a great pleasure to work with Chris Moore on his directorial debut and to see him and these fantastic actors tell such an intimately horrifying story.”
