FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPIRIT CAMP SLAUGHTERS TEXAS FRIGHTMARE FILM FESTIVAL
Houston, TX, March 29th, 2010 – SPIRIT CAMP, starring Brandon Smith (Jeepers Creepers, No Country For Old Men) and Julin Jean (The Final, Puncture, Sweatshop), will make its Dallas Premiere Saturday May 1st at 8pm at the Texas Frightmare Film Festival alongside George Romero’s SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD and Adam Green’s Sundance hit, FROZEN.
Spirit Camp is best described as “FRIDAY THE 13th meets BRING IT ON.” When a street smart goth-girl is forced to attend cheer camp as part of her rehabilitation from a juvenile correction facility, she clashes with the "popular girls" and finds herself embroiled in a bitter rivalry with the bitchy ringleader. But when members of the spirit squad start turning up dead, the girls must put aside their differences as they struggle to survive the murderous rage of a crazed psycho-killer lurking among them.
The film was shot on location in Houston and Cleveland TX, premiering in Houston at the Studio Movie Grill with two sold out shows. Having screened at the Texas Bloodbath Film Festival, program director Andy Rose called it “the funniest slasher of this decade!”
Spirit Camp was written directed and photographed by Kerry Beyer, whose photography has appeared in Vogue, Lucky, Allure, The NY Times and more. Called “one of the modern greats of cult horror” by Cinesploitation.com, Kerry is a former winner of the Slamdance Anarchy Film Showcase and semi-finalist in the Nicholl Fellowships in screenwriting.
A signed Limited Edition DVD of Spirit Camp is currently available from http://SpiritCampMovie.com
The Texas Frightmare Film Festival and Texas Frightmare Weekend will run April 28 – May 2, 2010. Passes and tickets are currently on sale online at www.TexasFrightmareWeekend.com.
