Terror Films has set a release date for the long-gestating ’80s horror film The Torment of Laurie Ann Cullom.
Inspired by actual events, director Mark Dossett’s critically acclaimed indie horror film is set to debut on digital platforms this March 2nd, 2020. The film, which first began its festival run in 2014, has been praised by horror critics.
Set in 1988, The Torment of Laurie Ann Cullom tells of a woman who suffers from agoraphobia who soon realizes her fear of the outside world is nothing compared to what she finds lurking in the shadows of her own home.
When asked why he waited so long to distribute his feature film debut, director Mark Dossett had this to say: “I had four previous distribution offers before signing with Terror Films. I had everything from one distributor telling me they didn’t like the name of the film and they would figure it out once I signed. Another one quoted me on the phone their recoupable expense amount and then when the contract was sent, it was double that amount. So, at the end of the day, it all came down to trust. I didn’t trust any of them. After talking with Joe, I realized he and his staff were also indie filmmakers and that we would work together on everything from the poster to the trailer. That gave me the trust that I didn’t have with the others to go ahead and sign with Terror Films.”
The release will span over several months as it becomes available across digital platforms. Digital platforms hosting the film include Prime Video, Tubi TV, Google Play and many others.
