RLJE Films will release the Horror/Comedy PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN in Theaters, On Demand and Digital on January 22, 2021 Check out the trailer:
Written and directed by Steven Kostanski (The Void), PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN stars Matthew Ninaber (Transference), Nita-Josee Hanna (Books of Blood), Owen Myre (“NOS4A2”) and Adam Brooks (The Editor).
“PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN is a perfect movie for
all of us who grew up in a video store,” said Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions
Officer for RLJE Films. “It has so much heart, thrills and fun that we believe
this could be a franchise. We love this movie!”
“PG:
PSYCHO GOREMAN is the feel good
splatterfest we need right now,” said Emily Gotto, Director of Global
Acquisitions & Co-Productions for Shudder. “Brimming with blood and charm, PG proves Steven Kostanski’s
imagination is unstoppable and we’re thrilled for Shudder members to meet the
monsters, and especially, Mimi.”
In PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN, siblings Mimi and
Luke unwittingly resurrect an ancient alien overlord. Using a magical amulet,
they force the monster to obey their childish whims, and accidentally attract a
rogues’ gallery of intergalactic assassins to small-town suburbia.
“The Shudder
library is home to many of the horror films that inspired me to make PG,”
observed Kostanski, “so it’s a surreal thrill to be working with both RLJE Films
and Shudder to bring the evil might of PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN to their
audiences”.
PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN was produced by Kostanski, Stuart F. Andrews, Shannon Hanmer (ABCs of Death 2), Jesse Kristensen and the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness programmer Peter Kuplowsky (The Interior, Climate of the Hunter). Ward and Jess DeLeo from RLJE Films and Gotto from Shudder negotiated the deal with Carole Baraton and Pauline Boucheny from Charades on behalf of the filmmakers.

Two sisters, Alma and Elizabeth, along with a dog who’s described as a “philosopher,” have come to Alma’s remote house to reconnect with Wesley after twenty years. Alma is recently divorced, Elizabeth is a workaholic in Washington, D.C., while Wesley lives in Paris dealing with a wife recently struck with a fatal disease. When the three come together for dinner it has all the makings of a lovely adult melodrama about loneliness, and the desire to connect and share our lives with someone… but we must add to the mix one otherworldly piece of information: Wesley could be a vampire.

What started as a flirtatious encounter at a bar turns into a life-or-death struggle as Eve (Lucie Debay) becomes the unknowing target of a misogynistic plot against her.

Co-written by Paronnaud alongside Léa Pernollet, the film stars Magritte Award-winning actors Lucie Debay (THE CONFESSION) and Arieh Worthalter (GIRL), with Ciaran O’Brien rounding out the intimate main cast.
HUNTED is produced by Benoit Roland (FILTH, THE HOLE IN THE GROUND) and Alexandre Perrier (SWAGGER), and is a Kidam & Wrong Men production, and co-production with Savage Production, Charades, Longride, BNP Paribas Fortis, VOO, and BeTV.
