Dread Central has recently reported on a promising indie slasher film titled ‘Depravity’. It will be the first full-length feature by director C.M. Downs, and Brett Rickaby (Carnivale), Candace Alfia (Grey’s Anatomy), and Kurt Hanover are confirmed to star, with Kristina Klebe (Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween’) said to be in serious talks for a co-lead. Here’s what Downs had to say on the film.

One of the things I wanted to achieve on this film is the slickness of the original ‘Hitcher’, but with the gore of a Fulci film like ‘The Gates of Hell’. I mean to have hardcore FX on this film. That’s why I brought FX master Toby Sells to the table. He knows exactly what I’m trying to achieve and we see completely eye to eye on the visual aspect of a horror film. We have 15 pages of FX shots that are all practical. I’m sure Toby and the boys [at Creature Makeup FX] are gonna have their hands full.
