Now in 2020, he returns with a movie that is getting a bit of buzz entitled THE DARK RED.
Sybil Warren (April Billingsley) is a troubled woman who’s mother died while she was young and her eventual caregiver tragicly passed as well. Landing in a sanitarium, she discusses with a psychiatrist how a group of cultists had stolen her baby and that there is a mysterious power that they possess. After eventually agreeing her tale is preposterous, she is released and decides to find out the truth.
THE DARK RED was co-written by Dan Bush and Conal Byrne and stars April Billingsley in a strong performance. The movie played for two years on the festival circuit before finally arriving on VOD in 2020 to fairly good reviews. Dark Discussions takes a look at this thriller and gives their thoughts.
