Horror From a Demonic P.O.V.
According to Screen Daily Fortissimo Films has acquired worldwide rights (excluding Dutch-speaking Benelux) for Dennis Bartok’s English-language horror P.O.V. ahead of Cannes. The film, currently in pre-production, is due to commence principal photography in Q3 2015 for an early 2016 debut.
Casting is currently under way for Bartok’s directorial debut, which will shoot in Ireland and various locations around the UK.
P.O.V. follows the story of Dana Milgrom, a track coach who, having survived a near-death car accident, finds herself completely paralyzed and trapped inside her own body. While recovering, she becomes convinced that an evil presence exists inside her hospital room and is intent on killing her – and she may not be the only target.
Brendan McCarthy and John McDonnell will produce through their Ireland-based, horror production outfit Fantastic Films along with Jan Doense and Herman Slagter of The Netherlands-based, genre-specific House of Netherhorror.
Bartok wrote the script with Tom Abrams, and a copy will be at Fortissimo’s Cannes office along with a sizzle reel for the film.
