Black Mandala\u00a0is proud to present\u00a0SOUTHERN NIGHTMARE, the new horror film from director\u00a0Charlie Steeds\u00a0\u2014 an unfiltered, unapologetic tribute to the dirtiest and most entertaining grindhouse cinema of the 1970s.<\/p>\n
Blending backwoods horror, women-in-prison brutality, and blaxploitation attitude,\u00a0SOUTHERN NIGHTMARE\u00a0delivers a raw, sleazy, and relentless genre experience that refuses to play by the rules.<\/p>\n
The film stars\u00a0Faith McCoy\u00a0(Collection,\u00a0House of Payne),\u00a0Scot Scurlock\u00a0(Homestead), and\u00a0Gloria Lynne Henry\u00a0(Phantasm III,\u00a0The Devil\u2019s Advocate).<\/p>\n
Sherri and Anna Beth, two best friends on a road trip to Texas, make a brief stop in rural Georgia \u2014 a decision that quickly becomes a descent into hell. Captured by a trio of deranged rednecks, the girls are imprisoned, chained, drugged, and forced into a nightmare of exploitation, survival, and violence. Their Southern nightmare has only just begun.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
