In Groupchat, "a grieving game master's new online role-playing adventure spirals into a deadly reality, trapping players in a supernatural fight for survival." From Dan Brownlie, Groupchat was shot over four days with five actors performing in real time in this story of a game that becomes all too real, and we're excited to share the trailer with Daily Dead readers, along with a look at the poster from Graham Humphreys!

Groupchat was written and directed by Dan Brownlie, who also produced the film alongside Mel Morley. The cast includes Marcel Jortzik, Amy Tara, Toby Wynn-Davies, Georgie Rodgers, James Grimm, and Debbie Rochon. You'll also see a very brief cameo from some of Daily Dead's Corpse Club podcast team. We all thought this was a really great concept and something Daily Dead readers would be into.

Synopsis: "After months of absence, Games Master Dean has come back with a brand-new online campaign.

Described as Host meets Dungeons & Dragons, GroupChat imbues screenlife horror with a bit of hocus pocus.

Watch the trailer below, where you can also see the poster by celebrated horror artist Graham Humphreys.

A grieving game master’s new online role-playing adventure spirals into a deadly reality, trapping players in a supernatural fight for survival.

“This is an insanely personal film to me, as I wrote it to help deal with the passing of my own father,” writer-director Dan Brownlie tells Bloody Disgusting.

Marcel Jortzik, Amy Tara, Toby Wynn-Davies (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Georgie Rogers, James Grimm, and scream queen Debbie Rochon (Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV) star.

Rebecca Wheeler (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) handled the practical effects, and a mortician was on hand for technical advice — so the film boasts an undertaker-approved zombie.

Dead Food Films, Brand B Corporation and Paranoid Android Films are banding together to create an original horror film anthology. Three short films, tiled "Don't Open the Door," "Born From Raw Emotion," and the "Time Traveller's Knife," will be at the heart of the feature, with a narrative linking the three stories together. Cumulatively titled Three's a Shroud, the official website has launched for this killer themed film series, which shows some of the bloody artwork for the film. More details are below.

The synopsis for "Don't Open the Door," is here:

"'Don't Open The Door' is a tale of suspense and psychological terror, about a dysfunctional couple who are struggling to keep it together. It's a creepy, old school ghost story, in the tradition of such tales as The Monkey's Paw, relying on tension to keep the audience hooked right through to its shocking conclusion" (Shroud).
