The long-delayed horror flick Flay has overcome its legal hurdles and will be released at last this April. And to prove it, there’s a new trailer out. If you know the story of Slenderman, then you know the story of Flay. There’s a creepy man in the woods, and he has no face! Flay stars Alita : Battle Angel’s Elle LaMont, Violett Beane (The Flash), Phantasm star A. Michael Baldwin. Dalton Gray (Lazer Team, Dumber and Dumber To), Johnny Walter, Aaron Spivey-Sorrells, Peggy Schott, Kaylee King and Noe de la Garza. It was written and directed by Eric Pham and produced by Phame Factory. If you don’t know what we’re talking about when we mentioned a delay, this film was completed in 2017 but had to be temporarily shelved. Sony theatened a lawsuit against Phame Factory, makers of the picture, due to similarities between its plot and the Slenderman mythos, which Sony had a movie in the works about. (But we doubt Sony actually owns the legend of Slenderman wholesale).

Two years ago, the independent production company Phame Factory had their Slenderman-inspired horror thriller “Flay” ready for release. Then litigation forced them to shelve the picture. Now it’s finally coming out….what’s the story here? You know by now that the direct-to-video B-movie horror genre loves to rip off whatever movies happen to be coming out at the time. Normally, the big studios are content to let them do it. But, for some reason, not in the case of Flay. Sony had their own take on Slenderman hitting the big screen (it was just called “Slenderman”) and didn’t appreciate the “competition.” More specifically, Sony thought they actually owned the character. This obviously wasn’t going to hold up in court as there is clear proof Slenderman is public domain — you can look up the message board thread on the website “Something Awful” where he was crowdsourced into existence. Sony threatened Phame Factory with legal action, and “Flay” writer and producer Eric Pham elected to simply shelve his film rather than fight

A distributor who calls themselves Distribber will be releasing the horror fantasy Flay on VOD platforms this March. Its trailer was released today and you can view it below. The film seems to borrow some elements from the Slenderman story — which, by no coincidence, is getting its own movie very soon. Funny how that timing works out…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqngSwgI91k After the death of her mother, an estranged daughter struggles to save her brother, and those around her from a malevolent faceless spirit. Flay was directed by Eric Pham, formerly known for his VFX work on Robert Rodriguez’s lineup of movies including Grindhouse and Sin City. It stars Violett Beane (The Flash), A. Michael Baldwin (Phantasm), Elle LaMont (Alita: Battle Angel, Machete Kills), Dalton Gray (Lazer Team, Dumber and Dumber To), Johnny Walter, Aaron Spivey-Sorrells, Peggy Schott, Kaylee King and Noe de la Garza. Watch for Flay to appear out of nowhere on digital platforms March 6.
