From director Michael Costa<\/strong>, The Willowbrook Tapes is an upcoming found footage horror movie that was filmed on both VHS and Digital, and you can preview the chilling footage below.<\/p>\n

Most know Willowbrook, Staten Island, as a haunt for restless youth and the rotting shell of Seaview Hospital\u2014fewer speak of what lies beneath.<\/p>\n

The silence is shattered by fragments of vanished lives stitched together with panic, ritual, and the shadow of something older than fear\u2026<\/p>\n

Erica Crawford, Devin Bonomo, Elyse Robin <\/strong>and Dagmara Bragiel <\/strong>star.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I just wanted to create the kind of horror I was craving\u2014something that really got under my skin in the best way,\u201d director Michael Costa tells Bloody Disgusting. \u201cThe stuff hitting theaters wasn\u2019t quite tapping into that strange corner of my brain that loves to be disturbed, surprised, and a little haunted. So I figured\u2014why not make it myself?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to horror movies, I\u2019ve always had the unique ability to spot and foster young indie talent. My track record speaks for itself. Michael Costa and company have made something frightening, unique, and downright disturbing. This one\u2019s gonna stay with you long after the lights come up,\u201d \u2013 teases Executive Producer Steve Barton<\/strong> (Terrifier 2, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, All Hallow\u2019s Eve: Inferno, George A. Romero\u2019s Survival of the Dead).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve dedicated my life to supporting independent artists in telling their stories, and I knew the second I met Michael he had the drive and passion to get his story out into the world. I didn\u2019t realize how intense this film would be, but I\u2019m glad I hopped on from the start. It\u2019s a wild, grotesque thrill ride, and I loved every twisted minute,\u201d \u2013 adds Executive Producer Jess DuBois<\/strong> (Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3, Kevin Smith\u2019s The 4:30 Movie, Shelby Oaks).<\/p>\n

Executive Producers include Steve Barton, Jess DuBois, Michael Costa, and Christopher Belford, with Producers including Michael Costa, Christopher Belford, Matthew Genovese, Dylan Horton, Jess DuBois, and Steve Barton. The film\u2019s\u00a0Cinematographer is Dominic Ditr.<\/p>\n
