This Is Horror

The Cutting Room – Model Hunger

Former pinup model Ginny had been cast aside by the heartless and exploitative modelling industry.  Ginny didn’t take rejection well and grew into a revenge-seeking, bloodthirsty, broken woman. When her new neighbours Debbie and Sal move in, Debbie begins to notice strange things going on—Sal believes she is mentally unstable, but Debbie becomes determined to figure out what secret life Ginny is leading.

Her new nosy neighbour throws a damper on Ginny’s private life: her cannibalistic addictions and ever-growing body count, and both women become determined to put an end to the other’s obsession.

Why we’re looking forward to this: Model Hunger has assembled a veritable who’s who of legendary horror talent, including director Debbie Rochon (Return to Nuke ‘Em High, Phobia), B-movie actresses Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies, Cat People) and Tiffany Shepis (Sharknado 2) and composer extraordinaire Henry Manfredini  (The Friday the 13th franchise).

With talent like that assembled, chances are that we’re in for a good old fashioned B-movie in the vein of Blood Feast or any of the vastly enjoyable Troma pictures.

Model Hunger is out on DVD on 12 July 2016.
