The Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX streaming service continues to slay with Cinedigm acquiring all North American rights to the horror mockumentary When the Screaming Starts, about a journalist who tracks a newly formed murder cult founded by a bumbling wannabe serial killer. And we’re serving up an exclusive clip from the film this afternoon.
When the Screaming Starts will release exclusively on the Bloody Disgusting-powered horror platform SCREAMBOX on September 20, followed by a wider digital release later this fall.
Fangoria’s Editor-in-Chief Phil Nobile Jr. raved that When the Screaming Starts “does for serial killers what What We Do in the Shadows did for vampires.”
Directed by Conor Boru, When the Screaming Starts follows struggling journalist turned filmmaker Norman, who finds himself face to face with aspiring serial killer Aidan Mendle. When Norman is invited to follow Aidan on his journey, he thinks he’s finally landed his big break. But as Aidan and his newly recruited murder cult embark on a blood-soaked rampage, Norman’s dream of becoming a renowned documentary filmmaker turns into a nightmare.
Meet Aidan Mendle, aspiring serial killer, in the clip below!
The film was co-written by Boru and lead actor Ed Hartland, who previously collaborated on several shorts. Hartland stars as Aidan, the not-so-charismatic leader of the family; Jared Rogers as ambitious filmmaker Norman; Kaitlyn Reynell as Aidan’s girlfriend and literal partner in crime, Claire; and Octavia Gilmore as Amy, one of the family’s first and finest recruits.
When the Screaming Starts is currently sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Dread Central exclaiming, “When the Screaming Starts is a laugh-out-loud funny dark comedy, and the film breathes a lot of life back into the mockumentary subgenre.”
