Southern Gothic's Long Road to DVD

Southern Gothic is an independent horror film that revolves around vampire, preachers, strippers, and a congregation of the undead, which completed in 2007. This sounds like a good premise, but the film, which showed at SXSW, has been described as a "sorry excuse for a horror film," (David Harely, Bloody Disgusting) and "the horror elements feel like something of an afterthought" (Keith Brown, Eye for Film). Yet, the trailer is interesting enough and fans of William Forsythe might want to take a peek. All the details on Southern Gothic are below.

The synopsis for Southern Gothic here:

"Pray for dawn. In the sleepy Southern town of Redemption, a new kind of terror is about to awaken: For burned-out strip club bouncer Hazel Fortune, life has become downward spiral of self-destructive behavior until he s befriended by the young daughter of the club s new dancer. But when the girl is kidnapped by psychotic vampire preacher Enoch Pitt, Fortune must battle a night-breed of evil to stop Pitt s blood-crazed crusade" (Bloody Disgusting).
