Fangoria Studios' first film has just been announced! We have details on Sitora, a creature feature from writer/director Diffan Sina Norman that will be filming in Malaysia:
"Fangoria has always celebrated the art and craftsmanship behind genre storytelling, and will continue that legacy with modern creature feature Sitora. The film is set in the rural fringes of a rapidly expanding urban sprawl. Production will focus on practical effects and real village locations. The film will be sweaty, kinetic, feral and, like a tiger, wildly unpredictable. The story centers on a tyrannical shaman who peddles the threat of a supernatural half-man, half-tiger, as a means of preserving his feudal control. Sitora unravels current events in an unexpected setting, forcing us to examine some of our thorniest issues with a fresh perspective.
Sitora is inspired by a lost Malay horror film from 1964 entitled Sitora Harimau Jadian. The film was written and...
