Vicious Valentine
Vicious Valentine has already screened at the US' Bleedingham film fest (WA) a Northwestern Horror Short Film Festival, the Alternative Film Festival in Toronto, Ontario, and will now be screened at Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on 15 May 2021.
Two young film makers are in Los Angeles shooting a docu about the creepiest place to have a Valentine's Day date. When they find themselves exploring a deserted zoo, despite the warnings of their friend in Venice Beach, things start to go wrong. Is someone stalking them on the Valentine's Day from hell?
LA actor Nick DeLillo and Brit actors Malcolm Modele and David Dooner play a team of filmmakers shooting a docu about unlikely locations for Valentine’s Day dates. Griffith Park Zoo, which has been closed since 1966, on the outskirts of LA is a wasteland of abandoned cages and deserted fake “caves” that the animals had been kept in, now littered with rubbish and covered in graffiti.
Malcolm and David’s characters find some Valentine’s Day style gifts – as David’s character uneasily asks: “Who leaves random roses in a place like this?” – and they start to realise they are in fact being stalked in the zoo by their own killer “date”.
