Alien abduction thriller Xenophobia coming to DVD and VOD in August

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Filmmakers Steven J. Escobar, Joe Castro, and Thomas J. Churchill have joined forces to write, direct, and produce the alien abduction thriller XENOPHOBIA, which will be having its red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on August 1st. That event will be followed by an August 6th DVD and VOD release, courtesy of Vision Films Inc.

The trailer for XENOPHOBIA can be seen below, and if this looks like a movie you'd like to see you can pre-order the DVD at THIS LINK. 

Starring Manu Intiraymi, Kristen Renton, Angie Stevenson, and Baker Chase Powell, the film has the following synopsis: 

Six complete strangers recall the details of their individual experiences with alien forces—sharing the terrifying stories of their abductions and possessions—but the biggest challenge still lies ahead. Can they overcome their fears and trust each other in order to survive?

Escobar said that XENOPHOBIA is

an accumulation of actual alien events and encounters that have been documented over the years.  Teaming up with Joe Castro and Thomas J Churchill who co-wrote and co-directed the film with me, we were able to bring these stories to the screen using state of the art of special effects which we’re really proud of.  XENOPHOBIA is further proof that indie filmmakers can present epic stories and great effects without a studio budget."

Castro added that this was 

a chance of a lifetime for me as an artist and a filmmaker. It allowed us to create full scale alien creatures… something that I have always dreamed of as a child."

Churchill had this to say: 

Spending so much of my career in the horror and action space prepared me for XENOPHOBIA, which is my first science fiction film. It was a truly organic transition and I could not have asked for a better team and partners to have done this with than Castro and Escobar."

Vision Films CEO/Managing Director Lise Romanoff said the company is 

thrilled to be representing the visually-stunning sci-fi film XENOPHOBIA. The question of alien existence is extremely compelling and XENOPHOBIA presents the subject in such a realistic and terrifying way, we can’t help but wonder if we are alone in the universe."

There are some very cool special effects on display in the trailer, and that is enough to convince me that I need to see this movie.
