HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 7/11/07 – Usually squeaky-clean star sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff have signed on to appear in horror movie “The Kentucky Fried Horror Show,” according to director C.L. Gregory who did the low-budget gore film “Blood Lake.” He told Hollywood Today Haylie will be the star of the film, and singer/actress sister Hilary is to appear briefly in the film, which promises “buckets of blood.”
Haylie’s manager confirmed the deal. Her past film acting credits are not as extensive as her sister’s, but include the acclaimed hit “Napoleon Dynamite” as well as “Dishdogz.”
Despite the similarity in name to the classic spoof film “Kentucky Fried Movie,” this is no comedy, but includes blood and torture, and is set in Kentucky. The film is about a group of college students on a spring break road trip across the country seeking fun and excitement. Instead, they find themselves being hunted one by one in the heart of the Appalachian mountains.
Other casting according to Gregory is Brad Dourif, Scarlett Pomers, Zoe Hunter, and Jazsmin Lewis.
Gregory said it is to “be a fast paced, edge of your seat thriller that will shock and appease horror fans who love their blood and gore, yet not for the faint of heart or easily sickened at the site of blood and torn flesh. Added to that is a mixture of sex and some good ol’ fashion southern religion.”
For Gregory it’s a major step up from low budget horror, though “Blood Lake” did very well on DVD.
Gregory said he is more than thrilled to start fresh with a new twist to an old formula of gore, violence and scare, not to mention some bare-breasted girls. Gregory said Haylie Duff will not be getting nude in the film, to the dismay of many young men, although, ‘There is certainly some skin to be seen.” Gregory said about the content of the movie, ‘There is a lot more blood in this film more than most films out there today and even more gore, and I’m promising at least 2,000 gallons of blood to satisfy every horror fan that sees the movie when it hits theaters sometime next year.
To be shot later this fall in rural southern Kentucky and parts of eastern Tennessee, The Kentucky Fried Horror Show seeks to give what audiences are craving for – body counts. The plot behind the madness belongs with one Treva Moses, along with her sadistic family, have been terrorizing and killing cleverly disguised as a simple, and quaint southern Pentecostal Christian family. But what lurks behind the mask is anything but salvation but madness, murder and mayhem, and perhaps a little Satanism.
Update 7/27/07: Hilary will no longer be making a cameo, Haylie still starring.
