About Sororal
Shot
on location in Western Australia Sororal, a Nakatomi Pictures production, is
currently making appearances at genre film festivals around the world, and will
be the prelude to a performance by legendary Italian soundtrack band Goblin at Grimmfest 2014 in Manchester, UK.
Inspired by lurid Italian horror films, Sororal lays claim to being Australia’s
first giallo film.
A
diverse and bizarre film, Sororal mixes a heady whirlwind of genetic
experimentation, mind control, and telekinetic power struggles with twisted
artworks. Sororal’s heroine, Cassie (Amanda Woodhams) is a troubled artist who
tries to make sense of her vivid, violent dreams by committing her visions to
canvas.
