The first batch of images has surfaced from Padraig Reynolds‘ Open 24 Hours ahead of its World Premiere at the upcoming FrightFest Film Festival in London. Heavily influenced by John Carpenter’s Body Bags episode, the film centers on a delusional young woman working at an all-night gas station.
“John Carpenter’s Body Bags episode ‘The Gas Station’ and High Tension for sure,” Reynolds has stated. “Since we shot in Serbia in the winter I really wanted to capture the cold and the rain. I really think that added a nice element to the film.”
Vanessa Grasse (Leatherface), Brendan Fletcher (Rampage, Freddy vs. Jason), Cole Vigue, Emily Tennant, and Daniel O’Meara star.
In the film,“A paranoid delusional woman, Mary White (Vanessa Grasse), has just been released from a mental hospital for setting her serial killer boyfriend on fire. Her boyfriend, James Lincoln Fields is a brutal serial killer known as The Rain Ripper. After being released from the Hospital, Mary’s vulnerable demeanor aids her in obtaining employment at an all-night gas station. However, left alone to her own devices, her paranoia and hallucinations return with furious consequences.”
