Today is the day of the webseries, as Throwing Stones shows up on the radar. The film takes on the Broken Windows Theory which basically states that the removal of torn down and broken homes or the repairing of damaged infrastructure leads to a safer community. Also, keeping things in order leads to less vandalism and fewer instances of crime. This is a theory that was trumped by Mayor Giuliani in New York during the '80s and '90s with some success.
Throwing Stones will take this approach to a whole new level, as students are seen as the broken windows in need of repair. But only a few of the students can be fixed with hammer and nail, while others need complete destruction! In Throwing Stones no one is safe, not even the viewers! So, take an early look at a film which uses some psychology and science in its horror delivery.
A plot summary for the film here:
"The concept of Throwing Stones derives from the sociologist theory on broken windows. A broken window is left unfixed in a neighborhood; it signals to that community it's acceptable for that type of behavior to take place. These ideas compound until the neighborhood becomes decayed and unable to achieve its past grandeur. Now apply the theory to schools and replace broken windows with broken students, and now you have one hell of horror ride as the antagonist eliminates the unacceptable element that walk the halls of Blair High School" (Dread).
The synopsis:
"A group of high schoolers have to attend Saturday School. They must work together to overcome their differences in order to survive when students end up missing" (Dread).
Directors/writers: Bart D. Van Bemmel and Jason A. Wheeler.
Producers: Bart D. Van Bemmel, Jason A. Wheeler, Cherami Leigh, Rebekah Kennedy, Kingslea Bueltel, and Ron Gonzalez.
Cast: Cherami Leigh, Rebekah Kennedy, Lindsay Seidel, Chad Cox, Kayla Carlyle, Brina Palencia, Rachel Verret, Lynn Andrews III, Jon Christie, Spencer Harlan, and Tom Hamlett.
