Monique T. Parent shines as the former actress Lily in the Neon Noir debut production, horror/thriller That’s A Wrap.
Mason Maestro has just directed what he considers to be his masterpiece, a film titled ‘That’s a Wrap.’ The cast arrive to the studio excited to celebrate what they just created. But they aren’t the only ones there. Someone has dressed up as Mistress, the slasher in the film, and has decided to make the art real by staging their own highly stylized kill scenes. One by one, the cast disappear until the true nature of the evening is revealed.
That’s a Wrap is a highly stylized mix of classic giallo and a modern take on a slasher film. The film plays as a horror comedy, with the comedy coming in the form of a meta peek into the world of indie and studio horror, the characters that exist in that community and the horror coming in the form of tension mixed with kill scenes that play as mini-movies that help to create a new slasher named Mistress. It’s an American Horror Story style giallo.
That’s A Wrap stars Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever), Monique T. Parent (Jurassic City), Sarah French (Space Wars : The Quest for Deepstar), Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators) and Dave Sheridan (The Devil’s Rejects) The film was directed by award winning director Marcel Walz and written by Joe Knetter and Robert L. Lucas.
Check out out our interview with Monique:
Says director Walz (Blind, Pretty Boy), “I’m so excited to have a colorful Giallo slasher as the first movie from our own production company, Neon Noir. Everyone involved in this project brought so much love and talent to the table and made the whole process from start to finish something special. I know the audience will see the love in the end product. My favorite film of all time is Wes Craven’s Scream. That’s a Wrap is a fun meta slasher that showcases my love for that series of films combined with my love of Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story. As a gay director I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to have LGBTQ characters represented in the film. One even plays a key part in a scene that will no doubt get people talking about how that kill is something they’ve never seen before. It’s so ridiculous. I love it.”
