The Red Lady is a new take on the classic horror slasher genre. Think "Friday the 13th" meets "The Grudge"
***After many days of failed "could not upload file" messages I surrender. Here is link to a video of me the director https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m6kHts-eyg&feature=youtu.be And here is some test footage of the Red Lady https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNEwC2lxXpA This is not a finalized version of the Red Lady. The makeup is more improved. This is a first film, but we are fast learners and rapidly improving.***

Everyone who knows horror movies knows the Evil Dead. There was a reboot in 2013 of the first one Evil Dead in 1981, which led to the sequel Evil Dead II in 1988, and The Army of Darkness in 1992. But most people don't know about the 31 min short Within the Woods. Its the original version of the Evil Dead. Without that, there likely would not have been an Evil Dead franchise.
The Red Lady: Torment of the Blood Moon, is my "Within the Woods". I started out writing a story that was awesome. Mind exploding awesome. But it became a story that I could not make on my limited budget. But it is a fully developed idea that will be known someday. Someday the Red Lady will take her place among the horror legends like Jason, Freddy, Michael, and Pin Head.
Since I could not make my original idea, I focused on a more narrow aspect of the Red Lady story. I have a large mythos already created along with a origin story and I know more or less how the Red Lady will evolve in future films as a character.
This story combines 1980's nostalgic slasher formula with pseudo Japanese style 2000's era creepy Asian lady psycho, body distorting creepiness. (I just realized that the 1990's was a lost decade for horror, except for maybe the 1st Scream. Oh well I digress) Along the way I will break the "rules" of the genre so that it follows the formula but at the same time is not predictable. Its a line I gotta walk.
I don't want to give the story away for 2 reasons. 1st) If I try to give a simple outline, It will seem to generic or "canned". 2nd) In order to show that its not "canned" story telling I would have to give major plot twist away. So I will just tell you this. Think dark woods, creepy dolls, implements of pain, mangled flesh, and about 30 gallons of blood per victim.
Also the film has a certain self awareness of... itself. Though its not the main focus, there will be some internal critiques of the horror genre.
So in conclusion, this will be something big someday. Support us.
Thank You.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Since you have invested this much of your time I will assume we are friends now. And between friends Ill be honest with you. I am learning everything as I go. Directing and video editing are new to me, but am getting the hang of it. None of the actors that I will be working with are not professionals. Most don't even have any acting experience. We do have experience with theater acting. Also the actress that will portray the Red Lady is an accomplished singer with an amazing range. Unfortunately those talents are not really needed in this story.
The biggest challenge is the fact that this is our first film. We are not professionals. Our equipment is not of the professional caliber. Nobody is really qualified to make their first movie. The first movie is where we earn our qualifications to make more movies. And better ones. This is a learning experience for everyone involved.
What we lack in experience we can more than make up for with motivation and energy.

The murder weapon. Its not a knife, machete, or something stupid like a pair of scissors. I don't want to reveal it now but its got some heft to it and some pointy ends. If your a fan of the slasher scene I think you will like it.
