Lunarcy!!


Dan Fogler, actor and playwright, steps behind the camera to tell a tale of insanity and horror in grainy black and white. Part of theatre troupe Stage 13 Dan Fogler meant for "Hysterical Psycho," to be a an acting exercise for his cast, but the film blossomed into something grander. Set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, this April 24, the film will offer a deaf mute sister for laughs and various offings of characters that will entertain those fortunate enough to live in the New York greater metropolitan area. Have a look at the trailer and synopsis for the film; then, pray that Tony award winning Fogler makes his way over to the sunny west coast or finds wider distribution for his cabin-in-the-woods thriller.

A synopsis for "Hysterical Psycho," here...

The site of some ancient, angry goings-down between the moon and the earth, rural Moon Lake now holds the strongest amount of insanity-inducing lunar radiation on the planet. When a New York theater troupe travels to those snowy woods to "find themselves," one by one, each member begins to get killed. But who is the killer among them? Did the lunar radiation turn one of the thespians into a crazy killer? And what's up with the groundskeeper and his deaf-mute sister (Tribeca)?

Well, my answer depends on whether you have a deaf, mute sister. Lol...

In the trailer she is the one in fish-net stockings looking dazed as the title reads "slightly retarded."

This one looks good,

Lunarcy? Do you mean "lunacy"?

I meant Lunarcy. The title is a play on words or a punchline. Read the article or have a look at the poster to figure out the joke.
