Synopsis

Two former servants Frank and Zed who survive by working together in a dilapidated castle. Their existence is threatened not only by their deteriorating bodies but by the nefarious Lord Regent who attempts to trigger a demonic curse “the orgy of blood” in his quest for power by convincing the villagers to go into the woods. In so doing, his plan sets off a series of bloody and savage encounters forcing the pair to do all they can to survive and protect their home.

Diretor

Jesse BLANCHARD

Jesse Blanchard is a director and writer, best known for his innovative use of puppetry and practical effects to create richly detailed fantasy horror films. His work quickly earned the praise of filmmakers including horror master George Romero, who distributed Blanchard’s zombie short Run for Your Life (2008). In 2010, he established Puppetcore. His Puppetcore shorts have played in several film festivals and won many awards. Energized by the response, he launched the feature-length Puppetcore horror film Frank & Zed in 2014, and finally completed it in seven years.
