The Moroii film page

The Moroii short film has been completed with the help of a excllent crew and
cast. We at Monsters in the Closet Productions couldn't be happier. We are
currently submitting the short film to a number of film festivals. We are also
seeking funding to expand the short into a feature film.

Director's Notes

I blame my mother! As a divorced single parent short on reliable 
babysitters, she took a pre-adolescent me to see R-rated horror movies, where I 
sat on torn theater cushions in second-hand movie theaters and watched
celluloid nightmares taunt me through my interlaced fingers. This early exposure
to the dark  demented dreams of middle aged - auteurs had an effect on me that
cannot fully  be understood, except to say that I am now compelled to make
horror films.  Somewhere in the depths of my unconscious I am determined to
examine the gulf  between the supernatural and the natural world.

I  never thought that I would make this film. It was just a germ of an idea to
make a short film that  had all the trappings of a modern day gothic horror. As
I showed my script to  more people I found that more people were drawn to my
aid. The fear I wanted to  show on the screen was suddenly manifesting in me
with a real world anxiety and  dread. Now, I would have to transfer my thoughts
safely ensconced on the  scripted page to DVD where it could be viewed,
dissected and judged. I promise  you that never a more frightening thought has
ever plagued a  filmmaker.

In assembling my crew I had to be sure that  the people who  were helping me create
this vision of unsettling creeping terror  were fans of  the genre. I needed to make
 sure that the cast and crew would both  understand  what my vision was - and that was
to scare audiences on a more sub  dermal level.  This film serves as a counterpoint to
the bloody gory  splatter-fest, not to  supplant it in the minds of horror enthusiasts, but to
offer an alternative.

This film ponders the question: What would we do
if the  impossible confronted us and bore its fangs? My hope is that audiences
will see  this film and enjoy our efforts.
