The Broken Imago Poster and Plot Details
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
I first encountered the work of filmmaker Douglas Buck while watching films for possible inclusion in my book on great gore flicks. Buck’s film, Cutting Moments, blew me away, Not only was it gory, it was also heart-wrenching and painful (emotionally as well as physically). I knew then and there that this guy was a director to keep an eye on.
Yesterday, news about the director’s latest film emerged–an eco-horror film entitled The Broken Imago. Above is the teaser one-sheet for the movie.
According to the Metaluna Productions website, the film’s teaser trailer is ready to debut at various film festivals and the film’s MySpace page sometime next month.
The Broken Imago tells a tale about “a vengeful nature has unleashed a powerful virus from the world’s diminishing rainforests. Transmitted through air and touch, the virus physically assaults the doomed infected, violently twisting their bodies into strange intolerable shapes. Within weeks of the first reported outbreaks, the members of an elite Catholic boarding school on a remote island lose communication with the outside world. Facing the terrible possibility of the end of the world, they begin to struggle amongst themselves. The virus hits and they realize they were wrong. Civilization isn’t ending. Only the adults are dying. The children have begun to change.“
