Danse Macabre is pleased to announce the release of award winning Sci-Fi Horror THE PROTOS EXPERIMENT in USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Following its theatrical premiere in Los Angeles, this Squid Game influenced film is now available to rent or download from most VOD platforms including Amazon.
Directed by Brian and Laurence Avenet-Bradley (Echoes of Fear) and written by cult horror author Simon Clark (Night of The Triffids) who adapted the screenplay from his novel of the same name, THE PROTOS EXPERIMENT follows four death row inmates (Anja Atskin, Fred Thomas Jnr, Ricky Herrara, Trista Robinson) who are subjected to a memory implant experiment designed to revolutionise the correction system. They must escape or risk losing their minds forever. Corey Landis plays the morally dubious scientist behind this nurture or nature experiment and Mike Ferguson cameos as the giant inmate Goliath.
