the dead ones

Distribution company Artsploitation has announced it will be shipping out two new indie horror films this summer on demand and DVD. The first one is the story of Becca, who one day receives an urgent phone call from her older brother Richie. First off, he admits he tried to kill himself. Second, he says he succeeded, but woke back up next to his own dead body. Every time he dies, a new Richie appears where the previous one left off. At this point Richie has done this several times and there’s a pile of dead Richies in his house. Something weird is going on, and it might have to do with the strange, pulsating growth on Richie’s bedroom wall. We left off the title of this movie until now because it is the strangest part. This is called “Dead Dicks.” While Dick is short for Richie, the title is going to attract attention for a different reason. Compared to “Dead Dicks,” Artsploitation’s other summer flick feels a lot more subdued.
