Pretty Boy Trailer: "The genre specialized company Black Mandala presents the horror movie Pretty Boy, directed by Marcel Walz. According to its director: “Is heavily ‘80s-inspired and a love letter to all our favorite slasher franchises we all grew up with!”. The film had its world premiere on Friday, August 13 at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival in South Florida; and the same month it had its European premiere at the prestigious FrightFest (UK).

A notable killer is born into the world of horror: Pretty Boy, first appearing in the critically acclaimed thriller Blind. Now the murderess in the mask returns for Valentine’s Day in a heartbreaking sequel, where he spills gallons of blood among roses and glitter. The feature stars Sarah French, Heather Grace Hancock, Devanny Pinn, Robert Rusler, Maria Olsen, Jake Red, Andrew Rohrbach, and also Jed Rowen (returning as “Pretty Boy”).

I’m going to be totally honest here and state that I did not see Marcel Walz’s Blind, of which this film – Pretty Boy – is a direct sequel. A direct sequel in early Friday the 13th style, where this film literally continues exactly after the events of the first movie (which are recapped somewhat in the opening titles) and continue what, I have no doubt, will be an extended series of films featuring our creepy masked-faced killer.

Er, “mask faced killer”, does that sound Just like the Friday the 13th franchise to you? I jest but it seems, given how much this film focuses on blood, guts and gore – much mores than the first (apparently) – that Walz’s is very much following that series footsteps...

“Filming Pretty Boy the way we did was a dream comes true for me. It is beautiful, fun, gory and creepy. Seeing our Killer, “Pretty Boy”, slashing through this love letter to the 80s is what I have always wanted to do! Also, as an LGBTQ Director, I could go crazy on set design for the Valentine’s party and overall theme in the movie, so be prepared for a lot of pinks, glitter and some intestines Lol!“

One of more entertaining bits of indie horror from the last few years is “Blind,” a gloriously melodramatic suspense thriller that veers into slasher from director Marcel Walz and writer Joe Knetter, that slipped in amid all the chaos of the last half of 2020.

“Blind” focused on an actress (Sarah French) putting her life back together after being blinded in a botched laser eye surgery, but the hook was sex obsessed killer wearing a very Ken doll-esque mask called “Pretty Boy” (Jed Rowen). Filming just wrapped on the sequel, the eponymously titled “Pretty Boy,” and in advance of the first trailer you can enjoy some extremely cool first look images below.

First up is the poster which, yeah inject it into our veins please.

Due for release later this year, “Pretty Boy” sees the return of Sarah French with Rowen as the title character. It also stars Heather Grace Hancock...
