Totem Chaser, the first feature by director George Tsouris, will have a preview screening at Alpine Cinema in Brooklyn on Wednesday May 3rd, 2023.
The camp horror movie has an ensemble cast, starring Catherine Valentine (Japanese Borscht), Marquevias Turner (Pause With Sam Jay), and Cody Michalowski (Love Sick) as tv ghost hunters. Arielle Hope (Theresa And Allison) and Charmien Byrd play counterpoints of the cast as members of the Totem Cult. Also starring in the thriller are Daniel Alatorre (FBI on CBS) and Briana Brown (Love Sick).
George Tsouris is also the writer and producer of Totem Chaser. Inspiration for the story began from early cosmic horror writer Algernon Blackwood, as well as Grand Guignol playwright Maurice Level. Following his many award winning shorts and music videos, George led the production as soon as the pandemic lock down ended in the summer of 2020 on a shoestring budget. The cast and crew united over their love of filmmaking and horror.
The story follows a video crew seeking the truth of the paranormal. The cult priestess lures them to be unwitting sacrifices, while they believe this is the haunted house that will bring them fame and fortune. When they find themselves in too deep, it is a race against time for video crew to stop the embodiment of a demonic god, or feed their flesh to the Totem Cult.
Brooklyn’s oldest movie theater, the historic Alpine Cinema will host the preview screening of Totem Chaser at the beginning of the summer blockbuster season. Alpine Cinema is located at 6817 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220.
