New horror/thriller The Samaritans, billed as “one of the most chilling stories set to fill your thoughts with permanent paranormal fear and fright” – from the minds of filmmakers Keith Collins (The Meat Puppet, Clean Cut), Doug Bollinger (Waltzing Anna, Mail Order Bride) and Cory Green (The Jersey Devil) – has started production in New Jersey.
The Samaritans tells the story of Four co-workers who get together to finish a project at their manager’s home. They haven’t actually met face to face and they discover they have more in common than the new App they are perfecting. As they piece together their histories, they realize that each of them has a deadly secret that could reveal a way out or seal their fates. Their pasts have provoked a vengeful force to show them the errors in their ways. The home they have been summoned to becomes their court and their prison.

From the mind of actor Keith Collins (Gravedigger, The Meat Puppet) and two-time NY Emmy Award-winning writer Joseph Pepitone and Billy Pepitone (Stuck in the Middle, The Jersey Devil) comes Clean Cut – billed as “one of the most chilling stories heading to the screen set to make you squirm in your seat with terrifying, heart pounding, fear and fright, permanently deranging the movie goers mind”.
