‘Netflix & Chill’ becomes horror film set for spring 2017

Umami Media and Cinecrowd proudly announce NETFLIX & CHILL, a short horror comedy about a date night on a couch that takes a turn for the worse.

Officially defined as internet slang for inviting someone over for sexual purposes, the popular internet meme and hashtag ‘Netflix & Chill’ now takes a leap to the big screen.

NETFLIX & CHILL is written by Michael Middelkoop, who will also direct. The film is produced by Umami Media. Production is set for spring 2017. Currently, the film is finalizing its production budget through crowdfunding before making rounds in the festival circuit. 

Director Michael Middelkoop has clear ambitions: “With Netflix & Chill I hope to deliver an absurd horror comedy that makes a bit of fun of our excessive media consumption. Also, there should be enough gore to make both John Carpenter and Wes Craven proud.” 

THE STORY
After months of flirting and texting, a young guy finally gets the message he’s been waiting for: the girl of his dreams invites him over. Her parents are gone for the weekend and she’s down for a good film on Netflix. As the night progresses, one guy hoping to get lucky finds out that luck is having a day off.
