While I enjoyed director Marcel Walz's "stylish, dreamy slasher" Blind (watch it HERE), I was disappointed by the film's abrupt ending. So I am very glad to hear that we're getting a sequel called Pretty Boy, which will pick up right where Blind left off! Pretty Boy is set to have its world premiere on Friday, August 13th, as part of the Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Coconut Creek, Florida. Walz will be in attendance for the premiere, and you can buy passes to the festival and tickets to the screening at PopcornFrights.com.
Described as a "gloriously melodramatic suspense slasher", Pretty Boy is about
a masked killer named Pretty Boy, who takes a blind woman from her home in the Hollywood hills and crashes a Valentine’s Day party where the bloodshed continues as he runs amok with his butcher knife. Expect disco lights, glitter, a killer soundtrack, and lots and lots of gore!
The film was written by Joe Knetter and stars Sarah French, Jed Rowen, and Devanny Pinn.
Given the date, it's quite fitting that the premiere of Pretty Boy will be followed by a 35th anniversary screening of the Tom McLoughlin classic Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI, the movie I credit with getting me into the horror genre. Tickets to that screening can also be purchased at PopcornFrights.com.
A night spent watching both Pretty Boy and Jason Lives sounds like a great one to me. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Pretty Boy is going to bring some resolution to Blind, because the ending of that movie really left me hanging – and even caused me to give the movie a lower score than I would have otherwise.
