Actress and influencer Avaryana Rose (The Caretaker) has joined Hannah Fierman (V/H/S), Douglas Tait (Teen Wolf), and Vincent M. Ward (The Walking Dead) in indie horror-thriller Final Act, which is filming at the Ritz Theater and other locations in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The film follows paranormal investigators looking into the dark past of a historic theater who find themselves stalked by a mysterious, masked pickaxe killer.
The film also stars Tristan Green, Cal Tolentino, Sionne Elise, Rosie Dean, Julian Ford, Ashlyn Johnson, and Ben Stobber. Scranton’s own “Chef Von” (Ryan Von Smith) of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef makes a cameo.
Michael Su (Bloodthirst) directs Final Act, working from a screenplay by Rose, Green, and Brandon Slagle. Producers are Rob Adkirson (Spirit Springs), Robert Savakinus (Hell House LLC: Lineage), and Jeff Miller (Popeye the Slayer Man). Pic is a co-production between Babe Entertainment, Cannon Fire Productions, and Millman Productions.
Executive producers are Rob Adkirson and Brandon Gibbs (The Caretaker). Consulting producer is Dylan Matlock (Mass). Associate producer is Dennis Garrett. Jolene Marie Richardson (Cannibal Mukbang) is costume designer. Jared Sokirka handles props and weapons. Jackie Hughes (Terrifier 2 & 3) handles special makeup FX.
Much of the crew previously worked on werewolf/detective thriller 12 to Midnight, also filmed largely in Pennsylvania.
“We are filming in a great old historic theater in Pennsylvania with a superb cast and making a creepy horror whodunit that we think audiences will really dig,” said Adkirson.
