CLEOPATRA ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE “THE BLACK MASS” ON FEBRUARY 27th, 2024
After a successful international film festival run, the highly anticipated debut film by director Devanny Pinn – THE BLACK MASS – will be released domestically by Cleopatra Entertainment on February 27th, 2024. The release on VOD and Home Entertainment formats follow a limited Theatrical engagement in select movie theaters the weekend of February 23rd, 2024.
A true-crime thriller inspired by real events, The Black Mass is set over a 24-hour period in Florida during the winter of 1978. The film follows a serial killer in the days leading up to his final, unhinged rampage, providing a disturbing and terrifying look into the warped psyche of a notorious murderer, as well as the ramifications of his violence for those who fell victim to it, and for those who survived.
The Black Mass was written by Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle with story by Pinn, who’s directing in her directorial debut. Producers were Michelle Romano and Pinn with Tim Yasui Co-Producing. The film stars Andrew Sykes (Speechless, The Syndicate), Lisa Wilcox (Nightmare on Elm Street, Star Trek: Next Generation), Susan Lanier (The Hills Have Eyes, Cut!), Lew Temple (The Walking Dead, Unstoppable), Eileen Dietz (Halloween II, The Exorcist), Eva Hamilton (Ruin Me, Mutilator 2), Sarah Nicklin (The Retaliators, American Exit) and Jennifer Wenger (True Blood, Confessions of a Super Hero) with Kathleen Kinmont (Halloween IV, Bride of Re-Animator) and Jeremy London (Mallrats, Party of Five).
States Pinn – “The Black Mass aims to tell a famous serial killer’s story from a perspective that has not yet been done – by spending a day with the victims.” She adds – “The media has played a significant role in giving murderers publicity and lending celebrity, even at times a “cool factor”, to their persona. I feel it’s time to change that narrative. It’s time to shift the public’s focus to the people whose lives were prematurely taken from them and I saw Black Mass as an opportunity to approach that cinematically,”
