Shooting has been completed on EXHUMED, the 10th genre feature by Scorpio Film Releasing, director Richard Griffin and producer Ted Marr. Scorpio sent over a few exclusive photos to mark the occasion.

Scripted by Guy Benoit, EXHUMED, which we previously reported on here, stars Debbie Rochon (pictured left and in 1st photo below), Sarah Nicklin, Michael Reed, Michael Thurber, Rich Tretheway, Evalena Marie and Jonathan Thomson in the Gothic (shot in black and white) story of a twisted outcast family incapable of leaving their home. The psychological pressure eventually gives way to violence, in a more serious vein than in such previous Scorpio flicks as SPLATTER DISCO, NUN OF THAT and the upcoming DISCO EXORCIST. “EXHUMED is a major change of pace for us,” Griffin says. “Guy’s amazing screenplay is not filled with the typical ‘things that go bump in the night’ creatures like vampires, zombies or ghosts. It’s more in the vein of the psychological horrors of PSYCHO or WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Not only are we examining similar themes as those classics, but we also shot the film in glorious black and white, in the 2.35 aspect ratio on the RED camera, and the footage is breathtaking. With that, and the outstanding performances, we think that EXHUMED is going to really shock and delight the audience.”

“Even though we are early in the process,” adds Marr, “from looking at the raw footage, I strongly suspect that this will be our best work to date. Certainly the best technically.” Postproduction will begin shortly, with a release set for later in 2011. For more info, see Scorpio’s official website and EXHUMED’s Facebook page.
