LOS ANGELES — The official trailer for the Glenn Danzig horror film "Verotika," co-starring Kayden Kross, has been released in anticipation of its DVD and digital opening on February 25.
The film co-stars 2020 XBIZ Director of the Year Kayden Kross, Alice Haig, Ashley Wisdom, Natalia Borowsky, Rachel Alig, Scotch Hopkins and Sean Kanan. Kross is a regular Danzig artistic collaborator for music videos, photo shoots and album artwork.
Noted adult director/producer Craven Morehead, a longtime friend and associate of Danzig, was also involved in the production, which shot in Los Angeles' Skid Row on a shoestring budget.
“Verotika” is the iconic horror-punk vocalist’s adaptation of his own comic book series and was anticipated as something in the league of the extremely successful Rob Zombie horror franchises.
Fans who have seen special-event previews of the film, however, have dubbed it an unintentionally funny instant cult movie, and the horror-punk equivalent of Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room.”
Writing about one of the preview screenings, horror news and review site BloodyDisgusting wrote that Danzig, who “was on hand to introduce the film and for a post-screening Q&A,” didn’t seem to understand the audience’s laughter. “Yet his passion for the project was clearly unparalleled. He made his movie, his way, and was proud of it. If anything, 'Verotika' is authentic — and that’s what separates this from wannabe bad movies like 'Sharknado.' It’s a must-see film.”
