A network cable favorite of mine has always been
GROUNDHOG DAY. Bill Murray is great in it, and it’s a great film to just
leave on in the background while your doing whatever needs to be done.
So why the hell am I talking about GROUNDHOG
DAY on a friggin’ horror site? Well it’s because of THE DEATHS OF IAN
STONE of course. A film that follows in the vein of GROUNDHOG DAY
except it’s been geared to ghoul hounds like us!
Directed by Dario Piana, THE DEATHS OF IAN
STONE is about Ian Stone, an all-American
kid with a great life and a loving and devoted girlfriend, Jenny Walker. Late
one night, while driving home from a painful loss on the field, Ian comes across
a bewildering discovery; what looks like a dead body near the railroad tracks.
Investigating the grisly discovery, Ian is attacked by the ‘corpse’, forced onto
the tracks and run over by an oncoming train… Only to wake up in an office
cubicle! He’s still alive and living with a beautiful but eerily mysterious
woman called Medea. Jenny is still there, but she’s not his girlfriend, just a
co-worker and one of a number of apparently familiar faces. That’s when Ian
learns he is being hunted. Every day at the same time the clocks stop and
someone, or something, comes for him…and kills him. The only problem is Ian
won’t stay dead. He wakes in a new life and new place each day, only to find the
cycle repeating itself. He is desperately searching for someone to help him make
sense of what’s going on before his pursuers succeed in killing him for the last
time!
I think this vessel sounds spectacular and I
can’t wait to see it. So check out these latest pics from the film, courtesy of
