Director Statement

Horror-comedy is my favorite genre, and I feel the classic horror tropes have so much comic potential that has yet to be explored. Dead Language is my second film exploring the ways that summoning a demon can go wrong. We've gone much bigger with the costuming in Dead Language, while maintaining the sense of humor from our first film. We have some really cool demons in store for you - several more than our cultists intended to summon, in fact.
