We are a small but passionate team of filmmakers working to bring independent horror back to California.

Our upcoming feature, Lake House Massacre, is a love letter to the gritty 1970s slasher tradition, while creating something fresh, fun, and terrifying for today’s audiences.

But we can’t do it alone. With over 20 hardworking and insanely talented Los Angeles creatives on board, actors, cinematographers, designers, editors, and crew, we’re asking for your support to make this film a reality.

ABOUT THE FILM

Written & Directed by Cameron Flagel, and produced by Xavier DuBose (Variable X Pictures) and Matthew Wassong (BoxFort),

Lake House Massacre tells the story of Gabby, a quiet tomboy haunted by trauma, who reluctantly joins her cousin and friends for a weekend getaway at a secluded lake house.

What begins as youthful indulgence, boating, partying, reckless fun, quickly spirals into horror as the group realizes they are being stalked by a vengeful, hatchet-wielding Hermit.

Inspired by Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and Friday the 13th, our film blends nostalgia with raw, modern terror.
