SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine Productions have announced that Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired their feature film Nailbiter for North America to be released by Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

The award-winning horror-thriller has screened at such festivals as the Palm Beach International Film Festival, Omaha Film Festival, AMC Kansas City Film Fest, and Chicago Fear Fest. It recently won Best Feature, Best Director, and Best of the Fest at Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, Kentucky. The film will be screening at the Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival, which runs August 31st-September 3rd.

Nailbiter (review here) tells the story of a mother and her three daughters (Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, Sally Spurgeon), who are on their way to the airport to pick up their father when they are caught up in a Kansas tornado. The family members are forced to take shelter in a seemingly innocent storm cellar but are trapped inside.

Maybe you checked out our review of Patrick Rea's latest feature film Nailbiter and are curious where you, too, can see it. Well, wonder no more because we have a list of upcoming events where SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine Production’s Nailbiter will be playing.

Nailbiter (review here), directed by Patrick Rea, written by Rea and Kendal Sinn, and executive produced by Aaron Laue (Last Breath), stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, and Sally Spurgeon as four women who are trapped in a cellar during a tornado and discover that they are not alone. The film was shot entirely in Kansas and Missouri.

Here is the film's itinerary for March-May, 2012:

Omaha Film Festival – March 7th-11th – Omaha, Nebraska

HorrorHound Weekend – March 23rd-25th – Columbus, Ohio

Mad Monster Party – March 23rd-25th – Charlotte, North Carolina

AMC Kansas City Film Fest - April 11th-14th – Kansas City, Missouri...

SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine are co-producing the upcoming indie horror feature Nailbiter. This film combines two terrors in one as a tornado bears down on a mother and her three kids. Their hiding space turns out to be a poor choice with something waiting below. Hopefully that something is not a backed up septic tank. As well, the poster does not give too many clues as to what that something is; however, this first graphic does warn viewers: "in the shadow of the storm it waits." And horror fans will not have to wait long for Nailbiter to release. 2011 is the expected launch date for this terror filled pic'.

As well, SenoReality Pictures is a film production and editing company based in Lawrence, Ks, which has recently completed the films Torture Porn, Next Caller and the award winning Woman's Intuition. Nailbiter continues the SenoReality strategy to create strong thrillers with interesting scenarios.

After having won awards left and right during its film circuit run, Last Breath, directed by Ty Jones, is now gearing up for a theatrical run. Last Breath, which deals with a couple having to come face to face with a sadistic madman as their marriage stands on its last leg, was named one of the top ten horror films of 2010 on this very site and was nominated for a best supporting actor (Aaron Laue) for the Big Daddies (this sites version of the Oscars, but for horror fans). Imagine Saw, but with a higher purpose. Any horror fans out in the area or that can drive to one the following showings of the film, we urge you to see Last Breath as it is a standout film in the indie horror field. Here's the details for the first leg of the film's theatrical run-

From the press release:

CinemaKC...

Mandy Bannon Mandy Bannon is the the lead actress of the recently released horror film Last Breath which was directed by Ty Jones and also starred Aaron Laue. Mandy Bannon turned in a dynamic performance in a physically and mentally challenging role as a wife whose marriage is on its last breath. She is token hostage, along with her husband, by a madman who forces the couple into an array of deadly and gruesome situations. In Last Breath, Mandy Bannon had to be appealing. She had to be resourceful. She had to cry. She had to be sad. She had to be angry. She had to be drunk. She had to run for her life. She had to deal with hundreds on top of hundreds of rats! She had to do it all! And she did it all admirably proving that she just isn't a one note actress, but an...

Last Breath Last Breath, which stars Ty Jones, Mandy Bannon and Jeff East, deals with a couple whose marriage is on its last leg. Surveying a warehouse type building that they just bought together, they are abducted by a trench coat wearing madman who forces them into an array of deadly traps and into psychological warfare with one another. Aaron Laue plays the antagonist of Last Breath. Aaron Laue's been in a variety of supporting roles or short films, but with Last Breath he takes it to an entirely different level turning in a chilling, highly effective performance that's a step up from the work that he has previously done. He turns in this performance of a broken down, sad and twisted villain that's at his wits end. To sum it up, Aaron Laue brings dimensionality to what could have been a one note role. He makes his character vivid and real.

 2010 - 93 mins. - Not RatedD: Ty JonesC: Ty Jones, Mandy Bannon, Aaron Laue, Jeff East

A couple whose marriage is on its last breath are kidnapped and tortured by a mysterious man in an old abandoned warehouse that they recently purchased.

The idea of a thought, a memory, a notion, that is so powerful that it manifests itself into something is always an intriguing and welcomed concept, something the genre really hasn't seen since Candyman. Director/writer Ty Jones asks the viewer to question the individuals role on other people in society and how there actions shape them and their choices. To go any further would be to spoil the film, but Jones has many ideas and he has been able to take them and fashion it into one cohesive film. The plot structure is a bit too overtly reminiscent of the Saw series and some of the film's flashback sequences simply don't work,...

We heard from indie filmmaker Patrick Rea today with updates on two of his projects that we've been following: the upcoming short film "Rhino" and Rea's second feature film Nailbiter. He also included a few new stills from Nailbiter.

With regard to "Rhino", Rea and SenoReality Pictures will begin shooting the drama-thriller about drug dealers in a college town on April 21st. The short film stars Malcolm Goodwin of A&E’s new series “Breakout Kings” and Keith Loneker (Leatherheads, Lakeview Terrace). Principal photography will take place in Lawrence and Overland Park, Kansas.

As for Rea's anxiously awaited indie horror feature Nailbiter, he tells Dread Central that post-production is on track. The $200,000 budgeted film was shot in Lawrence, Kansas, and the Kansas City area and is hoping for its first screening in the late summer. Currently co-producer Ryan S. Jones is hard at work on sound design while composer Julian Bickford is scoring the film.

 Last Breath  "Imagine 'Saw' with a higher purpose".

From director Ty Jones comes a film starring Mandy Bannon, Ty Jones, Aaron Laue and Jeff East (Pumpkinhead) of Last Breath. In Last Breath, a young couple is imprisoned by a sadistic killer where they are forced to confront their deepest secrets and darkest fears through painful and torturous methods. Their choices will ultimately determine their family's survival.

A hit among the film curcuit scene, Last Breath also made it to the top 10 in a contest AMC theaters was holding for small independent movies in which the top prize was distribution in 50 of their theaters. Last Breath is finally coming to DVD on April 12th through Shriek Show. A list of DVD specifications and special features are not available, yet, at this time. For more info on this film, stay tuned to Big Daddy Horror Reviews.

If you actually ventured past your multiplex and watched horror films other then the uninspired "A Nightmare on Elm Street" remake, the strictly putting it in 3D for the money "My Soul to Take", the pointless remake of Let The Right One In entitled "Let Me In", the lifeless remake of "The Crazies" and other mostly bland mainstream horror releases that made up 2010, you would discover a wonderful world of indie horror films that stood out. George A. Romero showed that he's still got it with Survival of the Dead. Comedy and horror were brought together seamlessly (for once!) in President's Day & All About Evil. And plenty of other terrific independent films stood out. However, it wasn't all rosy for the independent horror films of 2010, as they also produced some highly publicized stinkers or films that finally came off the shelf after gathering dust for years. Still, for once, 2010 had...

Post production is moving along nicely for Patrick Rea's upcoming sophomore feature, Nailbiter, as evidenced by the third teaser trailer to be released for the film.

Nailbiter tells the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar. They become trapped and discover they are not alone.

The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Sally Spurgeon, and Emily Boresow and is directed by Patrick Rea from a script by Kendal Sinn. The director of photography is frequent collaborator Hanuman Brown Eagle. Brown Eagle also produced with Ryan Jones, and Aaron Laue is executive producer. It's a co-project of SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine Productions in collaboration with Free State Studios.

We're always happy to hear from Patrick Rea, a truly inspirational indie filmmaker who never has fewer than four or five irons in the fire at any one time, and today is no exception. Not only did Patrick provide us with an update and new stills from his sophomore feature, Nailbiter, but he also shared news about two other upcoming projects he's currently working on.

First, with regard to Nailbiter, the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar, only to become trapped and discover they are not alone, Rea tells us, "The editing on Nailbiter will be completed by Christmas. We will then move to sound, music, and visual effects. We are hoping for a completion date of May, 2011."

The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Sally Spurgeon, and Emily Boresow and is...

Last Breath, a horror film written and directed by Ty Jones and starring Mandy Bannon, Ty Jones and Aaron Laue and Jeff East, has been picked up for distribution in the Us by Media Blasters.

The company which has mainly dealt with anime or older, forgotten about horror films of yesteryear is branching out to include more recent horror film outings on their release schedule. No word yet on the release date or if it is going to be released on DVD, Blu-Ray or both or what special features will be included.

Billed as Saw, but with a higher purpose, Last Breath details a husband (Ty Jones) and wife (Mandy Bannon), whose marriage is on its last leg, its last breath, who find themselves imprisoned by a sadistic killer (Aaron Laue)--forced to make choices that will ultimately determine their family's survival or demise.

Ok peeps, here's a film we've been following for a while now and the goodies are starting to drop including two new images! Read on to find out more about this cool upcoming creature-feature! The feature film "Nailbiter" produced by SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine is currently in the final stages of editing. 

The film is a creature-feature about a mother and three daughters who get caught up in a Kansas tornado and have to take shelter in a storm cellar. During the storm, they are trapped and they discover they are not alone. 

The film stars Erin McGrane (Up In The Air), Meg Saricks, Sally Spurgeon and Emily Boresow. The film is directed by Patrick Rea, screenplay by Kendal Sinn and produced by Aaron Laue (Last Breath), Patrick Rea, Hanuman Brown-Eagle, Kendal Sinn and Ryan S. Jones.

"Imagine 'Saw' with a higher purpose". In director Ty Jones's Last Breath (2010), a husband (Ty Jones) and wife (Mandy Bannon), whose marriage is on its last leg, its last breath, find themselves imprisoned by a sadistic killer (Aaron Laue)--forced to make choices that will ultimately determine their family's survival or demise. Last Breath also features Jeff East of Stan Winston's Pumpkinhead in a cameo appearance. Ty Jones wrote the screenplay, directed and acted in Last Breath while Aaron Laue stars and produces. We had the chance to ask Ty Jones a few questions about Last Breath, here is what he had to say.

Who is Ty Jones and what is he all about?

I started making films 10 years ago with a dream to make movies that would change the world. I know that may seem idealistic to most, but I believe we have the ability to move,...

Director/writer: Ty Jones.

Ty Jones has written, directed, and starred in the Ministry Machine Production Last Breath, which won an Audience Choice Best Feature at the Omaha Film Festival. Ministry is also already working on another environmental horror film entitled Nailbiter, which is in pre-production. Last Breath is an excellent independent horror and fantasy film from Philadelphia, which puts a young couple in dire circumstances to heal hurts from the past. A cheating husband is shown the path to redemption in a film that crosses genres, while appealing to both genders, despite several disturbing scenes of psychological and physical torture.

Michael Johnson (Ty Jones) is a father of one, a semi-devout husband and a sales agent for a construction company. Failing in the sexual loyalty area of his relationship, Michael succumbs to the beauty of a company secretary and pays for this indiscretion with much torturous pain later in the film.

Psychological thriller Last Breath will have a westcoast premiere June 8th at the Dances with Films Film Festival and this first trailer shows a family tortured, tormented, and tested in a struggle to stay alive. Dances with Films shows the best of the independents and Ty Jones' (The Evil Inside) latest is a deserved entry, which is proven in the bloody clip below.

The synopsis for Last Breath here:

"With their marriage on its last breath, a couple finds themselves thrust into the hands of vengeance. Forced to look fear directly in the face, they must make decisions that will ultimately determine their family's survival or demise" (Last).

Release Date: June 8th (Westcoast Premiere).

Director/writer: Ty Jones.

Cast: Mandy Bannon, and Aaron Laue.

Director Patrick Rea dropped us a line with an update on his upcoming sophomore feature, Nailbiter, and laid four new stills on us as well.

The indie filmmaker has edited everything shot thus far and is now waiting patiently for late spring, when the snow will be gone and the leaves will be back, to complete the monster effects sequences and film pick-ups.

Nailbiter tells the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar. They become trapped and discover they are not alone.

The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, and Sally Spurgeon. It is directed by Patrick Rea, written by Kendal Sinn and Rea, and produced by Aaron Laue (Last Breath). The director of photography is Hanuman Brown-Eagle.

Dig on the new stills below (click each to see it larger), and...

We've been waiting with bated breath, and yes, bitten nails, for further news about Patrick Rea's second feature film, Nailbiter, and our patience paid off today when Rea sent over the flick's second teaser trailer. From the looks of things, a storm is coming indeed!

Rea also provided the following update: Editing on what we shot over the five weeks in the summer has begun. We're on [filming] hiatus now till the spring [with] only about 16 pages of script left to shoot. We are aiming to have the film completely finished by the fall 2010. Post-production is going to take some time. We suspect the main factors contributing to Nailbiter's long post process are the monster effects sequences we've been promised since first hearing above the project.

Nailbiter tells the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar.

Kansas filmmaker Patrick Rea of SenoReality Pictures, creators of numerous acclaimed short films, sent along a couple of new photos (see them below) with word that five weeks of shooting have been completed on his latest feature Nailbiter. “We have about two more weeks that will be shot later to complete some of the monster effects and various pickups,” Rea tells us.

Nailbiter, which we last reported on here, takes place during a tornado that forces a mother and her three daughters to take shelter in a storm cellar—where a different sort of terror of the monstrous variety awaits. Rea scripted the movie with Kendall Sinn, the producer is Aaron Laue and the cast is headed by Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, and Sally Spurgeon. On the shorts front, Rea’s Mrs. Brumett’S Garden and Do Not Disturb screened last weekend at Louisville, Ky’s Fright Night Film Fest,...

SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine Productions have just completed five weeks of production in Lawrence, Kansas, on the horror feature Nailbiter, and they were kind enough to provide two exclusive stills to Dread Central. An additional two weeks of production will be shot later to complete the monster effects sequences and film pick-ups.

Nailbiter tells the story of a mother and three daughters who get caught in a Kansas tornado and are forced to take shelter in a storm cellar. They become trapped and discover they are not alone.

The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, and Sally Spurgeon. It is directed by Patrick Rea, written by Kendal Sinn and Rea, and produced by Aaron Laue (Last Breath). The director of photography is Hanuman Brown-Eagle, and the photos below are courtesy of Matt Jacobson.

The filmmakers also have several films showing this weekend at the Fright Night Film Festival in Louisville,...

We're pleased to announce that Dread Central is home to the online premiere of one of our favorite indie filmmakers' new short, "Now That You're Dead!" Writer/director Patrick Rea was kind enough to provide DC with access to his latest venture, which he describes as "a dark-humored battle between a cheating husband, a mistress, and a murderous wife with a supernatural twist."

"Now That You're Dead" is a SenoReality / Free State Studios production that was shot in the Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, area. The cast includes Jennifer Plas, who also appeared in Rea's debut feature length film, The Empty Acre (review), Meagan Flynn, and Aaron Laue.

Currently Rea is working on getting the balance of funding together for his sophomore feature, Nail Biter, and promises more news on that front shortly. In the meantime, dig on "Now That You're Dead," and keep it here for updates.
