From legendary FX Master Gabe Bartalos (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Darkman) comes SAINT BERNARD, a “must-see for the truly adventurous” (UnseenFilms.net).
Shot on Super 16mm and 35mm film, the highly-anticipated horror jaunt fixes on a classical music conductor who unravels into the abyss of insanity. Jason Dugre (“Bosch”), Katy Sullivan (“Last Man Standing”), Peter Iasillo Jr. (HellBilly 58), Bob Zmuda (Man on the Moon) and Warwick Davis (Leprechaun, Solo, Return of the Jedi) star.
Gabe Bartalos, the film’s director, writer and special effects artist pulls heavily from his ripe imagination, creating extraordinary characters, bizarre set designs, and incredibly inspired prosthetic effects. Amid a palette of dark themes, the film takes its audience on a turbulent ride through Bernard’s surreal adventures as he spirals into madness.
The marvelously hypnotic tone of SAINT BERNARD displays influences characteristic of prior collaborations with art world icon Matthew Barney, horror aficionado Frank Henenlotter, and renowned photographer Mark Seliger, yet carves out a distinct new voice for Bartalos.
