Mti will release the horror movie The Frankenstein Syndrome, a contemporary re-imagining of Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein, on DVD on July 5 for a list price of $24.95.
Something monstrous this way comes in The Frankenstein Syndrome.
Written, directed and produced by Sean Tretta (The Great American Snuff Film), The Frankenstein Syndrome focuses on a beautiful stem-cell researcher Elizabeth Barnes (Tiffany Shepis, Bonnie and Clyde Vs. Dracula), who joins a secret research group in attempting to develop a stem-cell-based universal healing serum. Despite opposition, she quickly develops a serum that can bring the dead back to life – but with horrific results that involve lots of mayhem, lots of murders and a good deal of blood, as well.
A 2010 production, the film also stars Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Scott Anthony Leet (Abandoned) and Ed Lauter (Magic).
The Frankenstein Syndrome made some noise last year, picking up awards at various horror film fests,...

To me this is Tiffany Shepis' best performance to date! i'll be hanging out with her this coming weekend at HorrorHound Indy, just thought I'd rub that in.

Horror filmmaker Sean Tretta has become pretty good at problem-solving. On small, independent flicks like Death Factory Bloodletting, Tretta had to deal with the usual issues that plague a low-budget shoot. But his new movie, The Frankenstein Syndrome, is his largest production to date. And with a bigger budget comes a whole new set of problems. "What surprised me is that no matter how much money you have, you always wish you had more."
"I had far more money for Frankenstein Syndrome than I had on all my other films combined, but it was still hard work," Tretta says. "Bigger productions mean more people and more issues. Obviously, the goal of any film, regardless of the budget, is to stretch each dollar as far as you can. People are shocked when I tell them what the budget of our film is — shocked that we did it for as little as we did.

Best known for a plethora of low-budget direct-to-video scare flicks, scream queen Tiffany Shepis (Nympha, Nightmare Man, The Ghouls, Tromeo & Juliet, etc.) has now turned a corner in her career where she finds her name attached to genre films of growing quality and intelligence. Movies like the dark drama Rule Of Three (see feature here), the Butcher Brothers’ 2010 festival hit The Violent Kind and this year’s Arizona-lensed The Frankenstein Syndrome. Shepis spoke to Fango about (and we got exclusive pics from) the latter mad-scientist tale, written and directed by The Great American Snuff Film’s Sean Tretta.

Director: Sean Tretta. Review: Tim Irwin. Back in 2003 a few guys got together to make a small movie. Director Sean Tretta rounded up a little money, about $3,000, and crafted a story of a serial killer who enjoyed making films. The man, named William Allen Grones (Mike Marsh), fancied himself a director, setting up scenarios where he could document the kidnapping and imprisonment of two young ladies before killing them on camera. The Great American Snuff Film purports to be the true story of Grones' crimes, re-enacted and dramatized. Then, the story goes, new interview footage surfaced of Grones before his execution. Tretta evidently cut this new footage into the old film, making it five minutes longer, and has now released it as The Greatest American Snuff Film. The movie's strongest selling point is that the filmmakers have created a fiction surrounding Grones, calling him one of the worst serial killers to never get any publicity.

Blast those scientists always meddling in God's domain. Have none of them read Frankenstein? Now it's stem cells giving rise to an unhappy undead abomination. What have scream queen Tiffany Shepis and Louis (brother of Costas) Mandylor wrought upon us with The Prometheus Project?
The Prometheus Project tells the Frankenstein-inspired tale of a group of researchers conducting underground stem cell research that discover a cell anomaly that has the potential to regenerate dead tissue. Believing they have created a “universal healing serum”, the researchers apply the serum to corpses with “unfavorable” results.
And somehow cage fighting figures into it based on the photos I've seen at The Prometheus Project's MySpace page. I'm all for Frankenstein-ian Mma movies.
Starring the aforementioned Shepis and Mandylor, The Prometheus Project (currently in post-production) is the newest film from the appropriately titled Ominous Productions and writer-director-producer Sean Tretta, he of The Great American Snuff Film,...
