Summary
- Filmmaker Larry Fessenden wraps filming on new horror film
- Movie serves as a sequel to his previous monster-themed movies
- Fessenden reprises his role from 1995's "Habit" alongside other returning actors
In a move that's sure to delight fans of indie horror, filmmaker Larry Fessenden has just completed production on his latest project, "Larry Fessenden's Trauma Or, Monsters All." The film, which is currently in post-production, serves as a sequel to three of Fessenden's previous monster-themed movies: 1995's vampire tale "Habit," his 2019 "Frankenstein" riff "Depraved," and the 2023 werewolf film "Blackout."
According to Fessenden, the goal was to present his "existential take on these monsters in a contemporary mash-up," drawing on his lifelong love of classic Universal Monster films. The shoot, which took place quietly over a three-month stretch in upstate New York, saw Fessenden reprising his role as Sam from "Habit," while other returning actors include Alex Breaux as Adam from "Depraved" and Alex Hurt as Charley from "Blackout."
Joining the cast are several new faces, including Laëtitia Hollard, Aitana Doyle, and a host of familiar names from Fessenden's past films, such as Addison Timlin, James Le Gros, and Barbara Crampton. The film's logline promises "an unexpectedly humanist and uncanny tale" as it brings Fessenden's beloved visions of these iconic monsters together under one roof.
