MPI and Dark Sky Films will release Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch's
Starry Eyes on Blu-ray early next year. The horror film stars Alex Essoe, Noah Segan, Pat Healy and Amanda Fuller. Street date is February 3, 2015.
Synopsis: Determined to make it as an actress in Hollywood, Sarah Walker (Essoe) spends her days working a dead-end job, enduring petty friendships with other struggling artists and competing actors, and going on countless casting calls in hopes of catching her big break. After a series of strange auditions, Sarah lands the leading role in a film from a mysterious production company. But this opportunity comes with some bizarre conditions that will transform her both mentally and physically into something beautiful... and altogether terrifying.
Entertainment Weekly's Clark Collis called
Starry Eyes "a skillful combination of occult thriller and Cronenbergian gruesome-fest. Essoe gives a star-making performance." "One of the best horror films of the year. ... Brilliant and brutal," said Meredith Borders of Badass Digest. "Terrifying," said Time's Michael Roffman. "If David Lynch and David Cronenberg came together to craft a gory, psychological mindbender, it might be
Starry Eyes."
