The Resurrection of Charles Manson trailer: Frank Grillo cult horror film hits digital next week

We’ve been following the progress of the cult horror film The Resurrection of Charles Manson for a while now, ever since it was first announced under the title Man’s Son. Now the film – which counts Frank Grillo (Boss Level) as a cast member and marks the feature directorial debut of Remy Grillo, who happens to be Frank Grillo’s son – is set to receive a digital release on March 16th, and with that date just a week away a trailer has arrived online. You can watch it in the embed above.

Scripted by Josh Plasse and Brev Moss, The Resurrection of Charles Manson was “inspired by modern occult activity in the California desert”. The story goes like this: A couple goes to the desert for a romantic weekend and shoot an audition for a role in an upcoming film. Their holiday quickly turns deadly as they are the target of a Cult who carry on the evil beliefs and murderous practices of the Manson Family. This Cult believes they can resurrect the ultimate object of their obsession – Charles Manson himself – through a shocking ritual of human sacrifice.

Frank Grillo is joined in the cast by Sarah Dumont (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), Sydelle Noel (GLOW), Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine 3D), Josh Plasse (There’s No Such Thing as Vampires), Will Peltz (Unfriended), and newcomer Kathryn Hughes.

Coming to us from Hooligan Dreamers Productions, Dare Angel, Margate House Films, and Mi Nene, The Resurrection of Charles Manson was produced by Josh Plasse, Shakira Barrera, Conor Allyn, Johnny James Fiore, Benjamin Anderson, Jake Allyn, Fabio Lo Fria, Jaime King, and Emma Comley. Bobby McMichael, Nida Kahl, Chido Nwokocha, and Dennis Echelberger serve as executive producers.

What did you think of the trailer for The Resurrection of Charles Manson? Does this look like a movie you would like to watch later this month? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

The movie looks interesting to me, and I was sold on it as soon as I heard Frank Grillo would be playing the villain in a cult horror movie. I will be watching it for sure. It kind of reminds me a very cool indie movie that was released about sixteen years ago, Gimme Skelter.
