Fatal Pictures has unveiled a Kickstarter campaign for their final short film HEIR. The film promises to be gory, horrific and monstrous and will showcase practical FX.
Produced by Fatal Pictures in association with Red Sneakers Media, "HEIR" is the final entry in their "Box Cutter Trilogy", a trio of linked shorts each representing “different theories on the origin and operation of sociopaths,” and is looking to raise $17,000.
The first two shorts, WORM and FAMILIAR have received excellent reviews from around the genre. (Check out our review of Familiar). Also be sure to read our exclusive interview with some of the heavy hitters of HEIR here.

Synopsis
After connecting with a stranger of similar interests online, Gordon and his young son Paul embark on an ill-fated road trip in which Gordon aims to indulge a secret passion. Before the day ends a horrible truth will be uncovered and a harsh lesson will be learned. HEIR is a monster movie unlike any other, it is a bleak and fantastical examination of one of society’s darkest taboos that aims to stimulate the mind and wrench the gut with equal power.
About The Kickstarter Campaign
Believing that people shouldn’t have to fund something without any presented credentials, the campaign page includes a wealth of details on the previous work of Fatal Pictures and their collaborators, including feedback received for HEIR’s screenplay, an impacting clip from WORM, a video of FAMILIAR in its entirety, and a quote poster showcasing the latter’s overwhelmingly positive reception (part of which, I’m proud to say, is a brief snatch from my own review of it).
A myriad assortment of rewards is available, such as sneak peeks and digital downloads; a limited edition DVD collection of the trilogy; an acting lesson from trilogy star Robert Nolan; the full rights to VESSEL, an unproduced Fatal Pictures screenplay described as “a unique combination of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and FRANKENSTEIN”; and collaboration with Fatal Pictures on a screenplay of your own.
