FILM RANCH
feature BRAINJACKED set for release in 2010
(updated 12/13/08)
FILM RANCH is proud to announce the upcoming release of
our new feature film Brainjacked. A
turbo-charged "Horror-Fi" (sci-fi/horror mash-up)
shocker, Brainjacked is the story of
Tristan Davis, a young runaway lured to "The Garden", a
rehab center for homeless youth. The Garden is overseen
by the seemingly sympathetic Dr. Karas, who cures
Tristan from raging migraines. Little does Tristan
suspect, however, that The Garden is a front for
sadistic experiments executed by Karas and his runaway
minions. It's up for Tristan to stop the doctor's
ultimate plans of taking over the city's youth
population and making them an unbeatable street army
controlled by the evil Karas.
Directed by Andrew Allan, Brainjacked
will soon upload raw, hi-tech terror to theaters and
home video in 2010. In a refreshing break from remakes
and sequels, Brainjacked offers
horror/sci-fi fans and audiences a stunningly original
story by Andrew Allan and Andy Lalino,
injected with classic exploitation elements Film
Ranch is famous for!
Brainjacked
was filmed entirely in Tampa Bay and features Florida's
top acting/crew talent: newcomer Chris Jackson
portrays the reluctant hero Tristan. Somali Rose
is the alluring Laney, conflicted by her attraction to
Tristan and her loyalty to Dr. Karas. Rod Grant
is the wickedly unhinged Karas, who has shocking plans
for the runaway slaves he has collected. Chris Sarlls
is Zane, a mutant half-breed who is one of Karas's
escaped experiments, eager for revenge. Filthy
fans will no doubt recognize the gorgeous Krista
Grotte, playing the deadly sexy Heaven! Brainjacked is sure to be one of the most
highly anticipated independent science-fiction/horror
films of the year.
