This week Grace and Eimear are joined by Drew Fortier and David Ellefson to discuss their new found footage horror movie Dwellers. While shooting a documentary about the missing homeless Drew and his film crew go missing. Eimear and Grace were very lucky to view the movie before its official release date, 12th of October 2021. This movie does exactly what any good found footage horror should do, it makes you question your senses, did I see something in the corner, was that a noise behind them? While being filled with tension there is a real a humorous aspect to this movie and you can tell they had fun making it and that the cast are friends, with some great one liners and witty banter between them that will really have you laughing out loud. Dwellers is also preforming incredibly well within film festivals and already has 10 awards backing it. Produced by David and written, directed, edited and starred in by Drew this movie is a must see. Drew and David also talk about their book The Rockstar Hitman: The Sledge Chronicles, an autobiographical fiction novel which follows the rise of aspiring high school band member Sledge on his journey to fully fledged Rockstar and the what he needs to do to make this happen. This book is so much fun and will have any heavy metal music lover and thriller novel fan smiling. You can't help but root for Sledge throughout this book while he makes one mistake after the next but always seems to come out the hero. Drew stays on to speak to Grace and Eimear about his love of horror, his influences and what movie releases he is looking forward to this year apart from Dwellers of course. https://www.ellefsonfilms.com/index.php https://www.instagram.com/dwellers.film/ https://www.instagram.com/drew.fortier/ https://www.instagram.com/davidellefsonbass/
