Remember
when horror movies were good? You know, the films that featured scream queens
and real fake blood? It’s time to bring them back, but we need your help. Your
donations will fuel the independent horror revolution!
I
Spill Your Guts 2 will be the start of that revolution.
So,
let’s say no more remakes, no more CGI – just real horror and it starts with I
Spill Your Guts 2 today! We need your help, so get started now! If you’re still not convinced, just read the
long version.
Oh
yeah, and don’t forget you get some neat swag for donating too!
The long version...
The
horror genre has played second banana to other genres for too long.
Hollywood has monopolized the film industry, which left a bad stigma
that
independent films are cheap. The only way you could possibly make a good movie
is if
it’s supported by a big studio and the common thought process is your
film is
useless unless it’s been touched by the golden hand of studio
executives. It’s
time to eliminate that stereotype, tear down the gates of Hollywood and
bring independent horror back to the people. But I need your help.
As
a filmmaker, my films are sold in every major retail store across the
globe. Acid Bath Productions is the future of B-movies. We’re
planning to bring real retro horror back to the big screen in an explosive way!
That’s right,
there’s no CGI in our films and we plan to keep it that way. That’s one
of the
major reasons we need your help!
Here's the plot for I Spill Your Guts 2...
A blood-crazed vigilante is carving through New York's
political empire, dismembering one corrupt politician after another.
Only known as the American Executioner, this mask-wearing
maniac is fueled by revenge to kill a senator who he blames for losing his
voice and the suicide of his fiancé.
This hooded assassin, with nothing to loose, has his
sight set on the sex-craved senator whose lust for big-breasted women may cost
him more than his political career.
As he disembowels money-hungry sleazebags, no one is safe
from this savage military mercenary.
Tortured by the voices in his head and haunted by the
ghosts of his victims, the only way to bring closure to his madness is to paint
the city red with revenge.
A hero to some and a nightmare to others, The American
Executioner is lurking the streets. Just hope he's not coming for you in I
Spill Your Guts 2.
Hollywood would never let this film be made and that’s why we need you –
the true horror fan – to give us your support to bring an original horror film
to theaters.
I Spill Your Guts 2 will be a film that paves the path for the future of
terror. It’ll be one of the first completely independent horror films to play
on the big screen – across the world.
Big studios put a strangle hold on the creative process and tell you – the viewer
– what you want to see. They have no clue and that’s why there’s another CGI
turtle movie and remake after remake of the classics.
I’m an exploitation and horror film fan. If you’ve seen my work, you
know what I’m talking about. I Spill Your Guts 2 will be the start of an
independent film revolution. Horror won’t have to be placed at the bottom of
the bargain barrel ever again. Zombies rose from the underground – and so shall
we.
What We Need & What
You Get
We embrace the Acidbath way of movie making! Our budgets are tight, our project management thorough, and promise a high standard every time. We ensure that every dollar spent on the film is seen on the screen!
I Spill Your Guts 2 is an independent film produced outside traditional studio and government funded systems. We're planning to raise the first wave of funds of our budget here to make this film a bloodied reality!
Your generous contribution will aid Acidbath Productions in many ways and will go towards:
-Producing promotional pre-production, production, and post-production materials.
-Equipment rentals, camera lenses, lighting gear and gels.
-Art Department requirements, such as costumes and cars, props, special make-up effects, and copious amounts of glorious red blood (what is a horror film without blood?)
-Location fees, Insurance, Filming licenses, and transportation requirements.
We’re trying to raise $4 million. (As crazy as it sounds, it’s still a
low budget film by Hollywood standards.) This will cover the stunts,
animatronic severed heads, explosions and celebrity appearances.
If you’ve seen an Acid Bath Productions film, you know they’re filled to
the brim with cameos and an amazing soundtrack. Although a lot of celebrities
do us favors (or we hold their loved ones hostage until they do), this isn’t
the plan for I Spill Your Guts 2. We’re planning to bring a new all-star cast
to work alongside some of our good friends who we’ve worked with before because
we’re true to our roots with those who have helped when we made movies in the
basement.
The budget also covers some of the cool incentives, including the
American Executioner action figure and comic book. The most important thing,
though, is advertising. The biggest films to date have had a great advertising
campaign.
Can’t you just see the American Executioner with those big red light-up
eyes as you drive home on the expressway?
Facts are facts. I know how to make a movie and I know how to do it
cheap. I’ve shown the world I can make a good movie with nothing. Let me make
you an amazing horror movie for what Hollywood calls pennies.
I know you believe in me because I believe in me – and in the end,
that’s all that really matters.
Your donations will go to making the greatest contemporary exploitation
film in the past 30 years. It’s not a throwback film, so there aren’t grindhouse
scratches on the film. I Spill Your Guts 2 is a new movie with a retro flavor –
of 70s and 80s slasher gusto!
If we can’t meet our goal, all hope is lost for independent cinema.
Hollywood will continue to piss on the little guy. But if we succeed, we’ll be
the Rocky Balboa that gives Hollywood the knockout horror film they need to
make new and original projects!
The Impact
I Spill Your Guts 2 will change the world forever! Not only
does it have awesome gore scenes, but also it sheds a light on corrupt
government. The subject is timeless, keeping the film preserved for future
generations. I Spill Your Guts 2 will give you some cinematic justice and
escapism as you watch the American Executioner impaling some crooked
politicians.
Risks & Challenges
Without your support, horror will still be controlled by big
business. When I Spill Your Guts 2 succeeds, it will open the floodgates for
other independent filmmakers to get their movies in theaters.
They’ll say, “Hey, James Balsamo is just a an average New Yorker
and he did it!”
Acid Bath Productions has done so many amazing things with
no budget. With the support of our fans, we’ve proven that we can get real
celebrities and a soundtrack that blows away most Hollywood films.
The real challenge, though, is having your eyes open to the Hollywood
garbage they’ve been shoving down your throats. It’s time to realize that an
action movie shouldn’t be shot in front of a green screen.
I Spill Your Guts 2 will be filmed at real locations with real
explosions!
