Full Moon’s 400th Feature, Quadrant, Arrives August 23

Full Moon Features has distributed hundreds of indie horror and B-movie features through the years, as the business has evolved from VHS to DVD to digital. They’re about to reach a milestone with their four hundredth feature, Quadrant. The picture not only marks a big achievement but will launch Full Moon’s new production label Pulp Noir, which focuses on edgier, weirder, darker horror and fantasy films.

Two scientists have invented the Quadrant helmet: an advanced VR system that lets people confront their fears and, in theory, help overcome them. Unfortunately, they should have screened their test subjects better: the first one to try the helmet, a young woman maned Erin, has an obsession with Jack the Ripper that turns her INTO the Ripper. Then her mind takes over the machine to the extent that her Ripper avatar materializes in the real world and starts stabbing! The only hope is for the scientists to enter the Quadrant world themselves and find a way to take Erin the Ripper down.

Quadrant stars Shannon Helene Barnes (Netflix’s upcoming 5th season of “You”, Netflix upcoming rom-com The Life List), Emma Reinagel (Cinderella in the Caribbean, Happy Halloween), and Christian Carrigan (Evil Lives Here). It was directed by Full Moon veteran Charles Band (Puppet Master, Trancers) from a script by C. Courtney Joyner (Prison, Class of 99), and it’ll be released August 23rd on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Full Moon’s own streaming channel.

Developed by scientists Harry and Meg, the Quadrant helmet allows your mind to transport you into a world where all your phobias and nightmares are real, while also granting you the strength to defeat them, liberating you from their control forever. But the Quadrant experiment is about to go terribly wrong. When Erin, a young girl who’s obsessed with Jack the Ripper, uses the device to actually become the Ripper, she unleashes a reign of terror, first in her mind in an AI version of old London created by the Quadrant, and then in reality, where she now stalks the contemporary city streets, seeking out victims for her blade. The only way to stop this savage new Ripper is for an even more vicious killer to enter the artificial Quadrant-verse and bring her down. What ensues is a brutal, bloody battle, murderer against murderer, both in this world and the surreal, dangerous, synthetic world of Quadrant!

Whoa, this sounds intense! A VR horror movie where your fears become real AND can escape into the real world? Sign me up! Plus, it's Full Moon, so I know it'll be cheesy fun with some good gore. Definitely gotta check this out with my friends next Friday.

The movie feels like those Black Mirror episodes but with way more gore, I guess. I'm kinda intrigued by the tech behind it. Like, how do they even make a digital version of Jack the Ripper look and act so real? And what about the safety protocols? I mean, it's one thing to have a virtual nightmare, but having it spill into the real world sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'll definitely watch it, but with a side of skepticism.

Full Moon, huh? Takes me back to my VHS days. Remember those Puppet Master tapes? Good times. This new movie sounds like a mix of classic horror tropes and modern tech. I'm curious to see how they blend the old-school vibe with the new-age special effects. Also, Shannon Helene Barnes? She's a great actress. I'm hoping they give her character some depth beyond just being a Ripper obsessed fangirl.

A VR experience gone wrong? This is like every gamer's worst nightmare, except with a much higher body count. I wonder if the filmmakers consulted any VR experts or if they just winged it. I'm also curious about the world they created inside the Quadrant. Is it just a generic horror setting, or did they put some thought into the details? Either way, I'm down to see some good old-fashioned monster mayhem.

I'm intrigued! This reminds me a bit of that movie "Flatliners" where people messed with near-death experiences. But with VR and Jack the Ripper? Now that's a fresh take. Might be a bit too scary for me though, gotta see if my partner wants to watch!

Jack the Ripper in VR? That's a weird combo. I'm not usually into historical horror, but this sounds intriguing. I hope they don't just rely on shock value and gore though. A good horror story needs more than that. I'm interested in the psychological aspect of it all. How does becoming your worst fear actually affect you? And what kind of toll does it take on the characters?

Yeah, that sounds super safe. This movie is basically a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks virtual reality can cure your fears. More like it'll unleash them in a terrifying new way! Not sure if I want to watch this, might give me nightmares about malfunctioning VR headsets.

A VR horror movie where your fears become reality? That's a pretty wild concept. I'm curious to see how they handle the practical effects. Will it be all CGI, or will they use some good old-fashioned makeup and prosthetics? I hope they don't rely too much on jump scares though. A good horror movie should creep you out, not just make you flinch.
