The award winning black comedy from writer/director Sean Melia is available to buy now.
Hank Boyd Is Dead is a pitch black comedy of terrors that follows, in real time, a hapless caterer held hostage by a bickering family of sociopaths who will stop at nothing to protect their darkest secrets. Written and directed by emerging filmmaker Sean Melia, this psychopathic soap opera has been hailed as a "...film to look out for." (Ain't It Cool News), "... one of the best surprises I’ve had this year.” (BeneathTheUnderground.com), “... a twisted and darkly funny tale.” (HorrorTalk.com) and “… nothing short of a bloody brilliant movie!” (searchmytrash.com).
Come back in a few days to read my review of the movie!
Trailer
The film, which was named Best Drama at the 2015 Atlanta Horror Film Festival and awarded Platinum distinction by 2015 Spotlight Horror Awards, was shot over eight days in the director’s childhood home on a micro budget utilizing every resource available and stars an outstanding ensemble of veteran NYC theater actors that worked with Melia on several past projects. The end result is a smart, fast paced and twisted take on classic horror tropes which audiences love.
Says writer / director Sean Melia: “The response we’ve received from our early reviewers has been fantastic and made us that much more excited to partner with Amazon to bring the Boyd family to the world. I’m forever grateful to the actors, craftsmen and friends that helped make this happen. Hank Boyd is dead, long live Hank Boyd.”
