Indie Thriller Alert: Death of the Virgin Begins September 21st (Trailer)

Indican Pictures, a distribution housed based in Hollywood, is set to deliver their latest thriller, Death of the Virgin. This title was shot in Italy by Joseph Tito, a Roman born director. Death of the Virgin releases on DVD September 21st and the film involves a young women, May (Natasha Allan) preparing for the nunnery. However, strange visions haunt her involving blood tears, impalings and gore. It seems the 16th Century religious painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is haunting her.

Carvaggio was an actual Italian painter who was more known for his brawling and aggression than his artwork. Carvaggio is remembered for walking about Rome with a sword and a servant attacking those who got in his way. With a price on his head, Carvaggio fled to neighbouring Italian cities, where he himself was attacked in an assassination attempt. He would die a year later. His paintings and work in the arts would be forgotten, in a time of artistic renaissance. In Death of the Virgin, Carvaggio plays a supernatural antagonist, whose misdeeds continue into the present. Have a look at the trailer for this independent feature below.
