Director Anthony DiBlasi is an interesting case. While I didn't love his adaptation of Clive Barker's DREAD or his haunted police station flick, THE LAST SHIFT, I do keep him on my "Director's to Watch" list because it is only a matter of time before the man makes a true new horror classic. Mark my words.
It is with this in mind we bring you the news on DiBlasi's upcoming film, EXTREMITY. The new film follows the trend of “Extreme haunts”, but asks, "What happens when the experience crosses the line?"
If this sounds like your type of flick then you're in luck because today we have the film's synopsis, quotes from the director, and an all-new series of stills from the movie.
You can check through all of that below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think of director Anthony DiBlasi's EXTERMITY thus far on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
EXTREMITY synopsis:
A young woman with a severely troubled past signs up for an extreme haunt called Perdition. She believes that putting herself through Perdition’s nightmarish trials will help her exorcise her internal traumas, but has no way of knowing just how shocking her ordeal will be—or what dark secrets buried in her psyche will emerge.
DiBlasi on EXTREMITY:
It confronts very dark issues head-on. Like the extreme haunts, this film is meant to push those buttons, and if you peel back the layers of entertainment, it will also speak to people about their own self-destructive natures. A lot of us have been guilty of those at one time or another, and some people self-sabotage their own happiness. What’s that little voice that pushes us to do the thing we know is the worst for us? We inherently want to push ourselves to our limits, both physically and psychologically, and to get as close to death as possible and know where that line is.
That’s what Extremity is all about. I believe it’s the most stylized film I’ve ever made, which in some ways makes the harshness more accessible. The visuals lure you in, and that makes the impact all the stronger.
EXTREMITY is directed by Anthony DiBlasi from a screenplay by David Bond and Scott Swan. The film stars Dana Christina, Chad Rook, Ashley Smith, J. LaRose, Ami Tomite and Yoshihiro Nishimura.
