THE HOUSE OF FLESH MANNEQUINS (2009)

Director: Domiziano Cristopharo.
Cast: Domiziano Arcangeli, Irene A. Hoffman, Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Jerred Berg and Dave Vescio.

The Italian exploitation thriller, The House of Flesh Mannequins, will receive a worldwide DVD release late February. Elite Entertainment will release this exotic film, which promises to take audiences to experience the strange images and moments of then to include their reflective feelings of now. This psychological drama by director Domiziano Cristopharo (The Museum of Wonders) will be sure to be deeply disturbing.
This film features Sebastian (Domziano Arcangeli, Box of Shadows), a loner, whose life is about to change. As an artist and photographer, he habitually explores the seedy side of life and human depravity. When a fellow apartment tenant, Sarah Roeg (Irena A. Hoffman, Moonlight Sonata) takes an interest in his work, where this film goes is a look into a very violent world that also includes snuff films.

“I honestly felt that something strange was happening in this apartment (where my scenes of the film were being shot at). Like were they really doing actual sex crimes for this film? And how far are they taking this? Killing people on set as well? I had no clue ,” reveals co-star Dave Vescio (Gemini Rising) while on the set of the film. “It was a dangerous freaky vibe when I first walked into this dark and disturbing apartment complex.”

Giovanni Lombardo Radice (Gangs of New York) Jerred Berg (Mysteries of the Garden of Eden) and Dave Vescio (Air Collision) also star in this film. It’s going to be both surrealistic and haunting. This product pays homage to three styles—surrealism as established by the artists of the 30’s, namely the cinematic works of Luis Buñuel and Salivador Dali; the terror as envisioned by the pioneers of Italian horror, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento, and the body horror that auteur David Cronenberg is famous for.

This film premiered at the Santa Fe Film Festival and was also screened at A Night of Horror International Film Festival. It has also won a third place award as IndieHorror.it’s Best Indie Horror Film of the Year.

Director: Domiziano Cristopharo.
Cast: Domiziano Arcangeli, Irene A. Hoffman, Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Jerred Berg and Dave Vescio.
