THE WICKED ONE LIVES!
Leatherface.... Michael..... Jason..... Freddy..... Move Over. There's a new bad guy in town.
In 2013 Writer/Director Tory Jones began brainstorming to unleash a unique and terrifying character onto the Indie Horror Scene. A near 7ft, hulking killing machine sporting a mangled burlap scarecrow mask and a gigantic bowie knife known simply as The Wicked One. While production on The Wicked One initially wrapped in Fall of 2014, a series of unfortunate events played out that have forced us to reshoot this feature. That didn't prevent The project from generating a buzz. Many well known stars from the Horror Genre expressed their excitement and interest in this frightening slasher. Not wanting to let those who have supported and stayed with us down we opted to dust ourselves off and move towards a Halloween 2016 release date..
In order to bring this film to life it was vital that we recruit a new production team who's resume, resolve, and reputation supersedes that of before. That is where Studio 605 comes into the play. With Three Features and a number of short films under their belt, the Cincinnati based Film Crew is a natural and obvious choice to breathe new life into the project. With a experienced and professional crew, a stellar cast led by Indie Film Sensation Katie Stewart and Dale Miller along with Monster Actor Jack Norman, The Wicked One is moving ahead full steam.
SYNOPSIS
One of the most dangerous and prolific serial killers of all time escapes from imprisonment and returns to his hometown to continue his rage and chaos on the unsuspecting people of Carpenter Falls. But as he returns he finds his crimes and legend are being exploited in the annual WICKED FEST event. Now The Wicked One plans to shut down the promotion and spill some blood in the process.

One of the positive things about reshooting this film is an opportunity to improve in areas we felt our story lacked, or dragged. This updated story not only makes this character more scary, but provides a more unique and original take on the slasher genre. We're not trying to mimic a formula from the past, but instead give birth to a contemporary character.
