The Horror Collective’s revenge horror-comedy Mean Spirited is now on Demand and Digital and sees a wannabe influencer set out to bury the hatchet with his celebrity friend, only to find out that he is not quite himself anymore…

Mean Spirited is a First-Names Films production produced by Joe Adams and Owen Williams, executive produced by Shaked Berenson (Slaxx, Tales of Halloween, Turbo Kid), and Owen Williams. It was co-produced by Jacob Andres Padilla. Gerry Pass was co-executive, and Ryan Adams, Julia Hirsch, Charlotte Williams, and Charlie Phoenix were associate-produced.

Director Jeff Ryan told Collider, “We are excited to entertain and scare our audience, and we hope they’ll smash that like button, leave a comment below and subscribe. Remember, someone’s soul is on the line…”
Co-writer and producer Joe Adams added: “Falling out with friends is an experience most people know all too well. Mean Spirited shines a light on such heartache with a fun, fresh angle on the cabin-in-the-woods genre. In the age of social media, our movie explores the skewed lines between what’s real and what’s a show for the camera.”
