WAMG First Look at ‘Necrosis’

Most of us are familiar with the Donner party story from history, but if you’re not it is about a group of westward pioneers who get trapped in the mountains by a record-setting blizzard. The group is stranded with no food for so long they eventually decide to make one last, desperate resort to cannibalism to survive.

Necrosis, co-written and directed by Jason Robert Stephens (Vampire Night), is nearing completion. This indie-horror film is inspired by the story of the Donner party, but takes place in 2008. The movie stars James Kyson Lee (Heroes), George Stults (7th Heaven), Penny Drake (Zombie Strippers), Danielle De Luca, Robert Michael Ryan and yes … 80’s pop singer Tiffany. These actors make up the party of six, but the film also stars Michael Berryman (Devil’s Rejects, The Hills Have Eyes), an icon in the horror/sci-fi b-movie genre.

Plot synopsis from the official website: [Our story begins in 2008 as six friends arrive at an isolated cabin to enjoy a long weekend in the snow. An epic snowstorm interrupts their vacation, trapping them on the mountain and resurrecting the haunting ghosts of the Donner Party. But, are they true ‘entities’ or is it simply ‘cabin fever’ that brings out their fears and darkness, causing friends to turn against each other as reality deteriorates around them.] — Official Website
