Hisss - New Jennifer Lynch Supernatural Horror

[darkglobe]

That's right it's the Boxing Helena and daughter of David Jennifer Lynch, making a film about the legend of the nagin (snake-human shapeshifters).

Cool interview and pix of the star Hisss-er HERE!

Here's an excerpt that has the plot:

Director Lynch describes the East-West production as a “love story-action-comedy-musical-creature feature.”

The story of “Hisss” follows a ruthless American who, fascinated by the ancient folklore of the nagin, travels to India to find out the truth. In the jungles of India, he captures the mate of the nagin for the magical powers of its nagmani, a mythical gem embedded in its hood. The nagin transforms into a femme fatale and comes to the modern world to track down her lover. She wreaks revenge on those who stand in the way of their reunion and also on her mate’s captors. Her desperate search and subsequent quest for revenge results in a breakneck chase with a trail of bodies and narrow escapes.

All I have to say is, based on the director, story, and pix I've seen, this will be a must-see!

Ooooh! Sounds interesting. Me likey.
I thought Boxing Helena was a cool, quirky little film - maybe i'm alone on this one but i enjoyed its oddness.
Not seen Surveillance yet, but it's on my 'list'....

As now is Hisss.

Darkglobe mate - you never seem to disappoint.
Legend.

Thanks - I try to keep up with reports of cool films around the net, and I'm going to make more of an effort to make Midian a place where people can go to hear about some of the great upcoming horror film!

Boxing Helena was shot in GA, and thus I've seen some of the filming locations! I like it as a film, but it is really peculiar. I haven't seen it in a dog's age, though.

Need to track down Boxing Helena again actually - i've not seen it in years either...

[dante]

Well, i tracked it down - still not re-watched it yet...
i DID watch Surveillance though. Not brilliant, not by a long shot, but it does have that trademarked other worldly Lynchian feel to it and i was glued to the screen from start to finish. Somewhat charming and disturbing. I won't post spoilers or plot details but i would say 'check it out'.

Hmmm... Surveillance certainly sounds interesting!
