“Keep your friends close and your enemy’s shovel” is the tagline from Flicker, a horror movie opening in 10 cities across the United States, including Beowulf Alley in Tucson, Arizona.
Over the weekend of September 4th, Flicker will be screened in Tucson, Denver, Albuquerque, Paducah, Boise, Santa Fe, Portland, Brookline, Eugene and Hartford.
The trailer for Flicker has been one of the most popular of the summer on Apple.com. Blending rock and roll, country and folk, the Flicker Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is heard around the world thanks to many stores including Amazon and iTunes.
Egg Murders Productions, LLC produced Flicker and is often met with some questions and puzzlement about the movie. People want to know what it is and where it came from. As Flicker is unlike the most recent National Treasure movie, and that lot, we tell people: “It’s not a sequel, a remake or based on a comic book. You deserve it.”
Flicker centers on Pretty, a young woman on a camping vacation with her friends. She awakens in her tent to find that her friends have disappeared in the middle of the night. Keeping a flicker of hope alive, she searches for her missing friends while fighting the elements and the strange inhabitants of a desolate mountain town.
Flicker was written and directed by Aaron Hendren (The Faithful and the Foul, Hamlet) and stars actors from Terminator Salvation, Swing Vote, Easy Money and The Lost Room. The music comes from The Bad Memories and Jimmy Deveney (of Horse Opera fame.) Starring Katy Houska as Pretty, the cast is supported by Babak Tafti, Kate Schroeder, Abigail H. Blueher and Lauren Poole.
