Award-winning short filmmaker David Karges gave us the scoop that he has secured backing for his first feature, the horror movie Dark Karma, and has signed Fangoria Radio’s own Debbie Rochon for the lead. Robyn Griggs, another actress with a long string of genre credits (including turns opposite Rochon in November Son, Severe Injuries and Dead Clowns) will co-star.
Rochon will star in the flick as Karma Kaplan, a B-movie actress who wakes up in her apartment after a night celebrating a “Scream Queen of the Year” award. With a broken ankle and no memory of the previous evening’s events, she is visited by a succession of friends (including a “repressed and submissive, co-dependent” woman named Rhianna, to be played by Griggs) who assure her that she’s simply suffering an alcohol-induced blackout. But she begins to realize that her reality is breaking down, leading her into a psychotic state.
