Blurb:
“The Burned Over District is written and directed by Rochester natives James and Vince Coleman, and based on actual historic events that occurred near their hometown in the 1800s. Special Effects veteran Michael Del Rossa (Humanoids From the Deep, 300) splatters the screen with his visceral creations in what is said to be Pet Sematary meets Mandy, with a little Hereditary thrown in the mix.”
Production:
The film is currently in post-production and will be completed in May 2022.
