Ric La Monte, writer/director on 2002’s ‘Night Terror’ is following up with another horror pic, this time ‘The Tenant’. The tale of Dr. Walter Newman who has high aspirations to cure all disease through genetic manipulation. Which ultimately leads to the creation of a deformed creature that defies nature. Check out a couple of pics below.
‘The Tenant’ has all the required blood, gore, deaths cheesecake and beefcake, while incorporating a sophisticated and terrifying story line. The movie is also filled with nerve-racking tension, intense fear, shocking turns, exciting character development, and a never done before particularly effective special effects shot. Presented through stunning High Definition cinematography (CineAlta Cameras with Panavision prime lenses), complimented by a strong, powerful, and hypnotizing sound track in surround sound, with intertwining musical interludes and disturbing sound effects. An astonishing twist, coupled with a chilling surprise at the conclusion, serve to position the movie for a franchise sequel.
The Tenant stars J La Rose (SAW III & IV), Michael Berryman, (The Hills Have Eyes, X Files, Devil’s Rejects), and Bill Cobbs (Night at the Museum, The Ultimate Gift), Randy Molnar (Larry The Cable Guy Health Inspector, Contract Killers, This Man’s Life), Aerica D’Amaro (Steam, Misconceptions, Road Trip), John Kyle (Black Water, The Woods Have Eyes), Georgia Chris (100 Tears, Black Water) Sylvia Boykin (Recount), Justin Smith (As The World Turns), Ashley Totin (All My Children), Jenn Sturger (Maxim Top Twenty and Playboy Model), and Miss Germany Miss Universe 2006 – Natalie Ackermann.
Written and Directed by Ric La Monte with Jose Zambrano Cassella as the Director of Photography, ‘The Tenant’ is in the fifth week of a five and a half week shooting schedule. And is targeted for a locked picture later this year, or early in 2009.
