About Screamwalkers
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31911908/
From the creators of the cult hit show “The Ghouligans!”, and the renowned haunted attraction “Dark Night Halloween World” comes “Screamwalkers”, an original 90’s style shot-on-video slasher movie.
Synopsis- In the quiet town of Marblehead, a chilling pattern emerges as the body count steadily rises. At the heart of these bizarre killings stands CJ Wyatt (Elizabeth Davoli), a student grappling with the recent loss of her boyfriend, the latest victim of a ruthless murderer.
Each murder among her circle of friends draws the killer ominously closer to CJ. Detective Joe Penny (Glenn McBride Jr.) becomes her sole ally in a police force plagued by dysfunction. Amidst mounting pressure, he races against time, piecing together clues that might lead to the killer’s identity. With every passing day, the list of victims grows, pushing CJ and Penny to confront the terrifying reality of the “Screamwalkers”!
The fresh approach to the production of “Screamwalkers” has been the talk of the micro budget film community for much of 2024. The $12,000 budget allowed minimum time and resources, which made the producers adapt with creativity. The movie runs 65 minutes and was shot using an analog Canon camcorder from 1994. “Screamwalkers” has already won “Best Feature Film” at the Long Island International Film Expo and continues to garner overall very positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
