All set to have its world premiere in less than a week at SXSW, midnighter horror film Starry Eyes is looking to wow audiences next Saturday in Austin. In anticipation of its debut, a teaser trailer has dropped to give you a taste of what is in store.
Starry Eyes tells the story of Sarah Walker, a determined and desperate actor who would do anything to land her first big role. Unfortunately this leaves her prey to a satanic cult who has been operating as Hollywood's gatekeepers since the Golden Age. They have the power to make her a star, but it comes at a terrible price.What follows is an occult tale of paranoia and possession that explores themes of transformation, body horror and a woman going through a psychotic breakdown. Ira Levin meets David Cronenberg.
Alexandra Essoe plays Sarah and is joined by Amanda Fuller (Cheap Thrills), Fabianne Therese (The Aggression Scale), Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills), Shane Coffey (Pretty Little Liars - ABC Television), Marc Senter (Red White & Blue), Nick Simmons and Noah Segan (Looper)
