AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR/WRITER AND ACTOR, CHASE SMITH, ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF A FEW SELECT WINNERS OF A PRESTIGIOUS SCREENPLAY WRITING COMPETITION
As part of Smith’s prize, his original screenplay “Hell Departed” is receiving publication and distribution through Dizzy Emu Publishing and Amazon.
“Hell Departed” is inspired by true events and the story of a family of serial killers and renowned occultists in 1870s Kansas known as The Bloody Benders. These bloodthirsty killers ritualistically murdered over 100 people at their boarding home before disappearing without a trace — as if space, time and the world itself simply swallowed them up.

Dark Roads 79 definitely qualifies as one of the most unique and highly original horror films I’ve seen. It’s a smart and stylish genre mashup; think Almost Famous meets Cabin in the Woods.
It’s a wholly unique viewing experience that leaves a lasting impression. And, unlike many horror films, it maintains a high degree of rewatchability.
