Eric Stanze’s New Film Anxiety Promises an Intense Horror Experience!

Eric Stanze is one of the huge Godfather’s of extreme cinema as we know it. His 2000 brutal nasty, Scrapbook (see Scrapbook DVD Review: A Raw and Unflinching Dive into the Depths of Realism in Horror Cinema) changed a lot of things on the underground, simply because like Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer released a handful of years prior, and the soon to arrive monster, August Underground, it is an unflinching portrait of sheer intense real horror — the shit that happens regularly around the world. 

Eric followed Scrapbook with The Captives, China White Serpentine, and the incredibly ruthless, Ratline (review coming soon, by the way). Now the news arrives that he has returned to the director’s seat (first time since 2018’s, In Memory of) with Anxiety!

Anxiety, starring Jackie Kelly (Tennessee Gothic, In Memory of, The Man in Room 6) and co-starring Jason Christ of Ratline, Ice from the Sun, and In Memory of (both also co write) plus, like those two, another Eric regular makes a comeback, Emily Haack. Oh yeah, Eric himself has a part too.

The story for Anxiety goes something like this: “A recovering alcoholic’s journey lurches into a nightmare tailspin during a global crisis. Sober for only a few months, her sanity erodes as the demon in her brain drags her deeper and deeper into a vortex of madness.“

There isn’t an official release date as of yet, however preorders can be placed via Wicked Pixel — follow link here. You can keep up to date with everything courtesy of ericstanze.com and wickedpixel.com.

Eric Stanze himself promises Anxiety will be totally off the rails. Severed will of course be reviewing this once it’s unleashed.
