Mask of the Devil on KickStarter!
Busy UK fella, Richard Rowntree, whom I reported articles on a couple of his earlier films, but have sadly not reviewed any since, has set up a Kickstarter campaign for his latest creation, Mask of the Devil.
His past movies include 2019’s Nefarious, and 2017’s Dogged, but his huge CV has been in other fields such as part of the art department on such TV series as Top Boy, Doctor Who, Wizards vs Aliens, Electric Dreams, and many more. He’s had his fingers delved in films like Star Wars: Force Awakens, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Stan & Ollie as well over the years.
Anyway, Mask of the Devil is a throwback to the old ‘80s slasher flicks, a bit tongue in cheek, and here’s the synopsis:
West Africa, late 19th Century. A British explorer pillages a ceremonial mask with supernatural powers from its tribal home.
In present day England, a fiery young woman named Mary takes a job at a low-rent pornographers in order to gain financial independence from her over-bearing parents.
When the Mask of the Devil finds its way on to set, it wreaks havoc and unleashes unimaginable carnage on the ill prepared cast and crew.
Will Mary and her new acquaintances be able to defeat the evil, and banish the curse of the Mask of the Devil…?
The Kickstarter packages vary from a thank you and updates, to getting your name as a producer, with t-shirts, your photo in the movie, DVDs of this and the previous films, screen props, posters, a visit to the set and much more.
