Friday the 69TH

FRIDAY THE 69th

Friday the 69th, the first-ever period piece feature shot entirely on an iPhone (probably... don't Google it), is a micro-budget slasher-comedy paying tribute to the bottom-shelf horror films of the early '80s. It follows a group of adult filmmakers in 1981 who aim to capitalize on the slasher trend by making their own independent rip-off about a group of spring breaking college co-eds as they are terrorized by a mysterious killer beekeeper with a vendetta, leading to a series of gruesome and absurdly comedic events.

(Features a scene shot on location at the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre house).

Directed by Alex Montilla

Starring Amy Letcher, Rob Zoppo, Bud Galloway, Amber Kellehan, David Arnold Rubin, Anna Bess, Alex Montilla
