15 Years of DEMON RESURRECTION...

As September, 2019 comes to a close, I wanted to make note of a certain anniversary...

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO this month, in September of 2004, in a remote area of Long Island, I found myself working with a very talented team of actors and artists on my second feature film, the indie zombie epic, DEMON RESURRECTION.

While the shoot was a terrific experience, the film itself was not a great commercial success in it's initial release, coming out just as the home video market began to change, video rental stores began to close and the demand for low-budget, shot-on-video productions – especially those shot in standard definition – began to decline.

But then streaming video became a thing, and DEMON RESURRECTION, in a new HD widescreen version, took off and has continued to thrive online to this day, reaching a wider audience worldwide than ever before and showing every sign that its viewership will continue to grow.

On this, the 15th anniversary of the film's production, I want to thank our wonderful cast and crew for bringing to it all their talent and dedication. I realize that for many people who aspire to success in the film business (or any business), coming to be associated with low-budget horror – which generally isn't regarded as a particularly reputable genre - may not be the most desirable career development. So to those on our team who have continued, through thick and thin, to stand by us and voice their support for the film, I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation.

Thanks should also go to all those critics, bloggers and fans who have continued to express their enthusiasm for DEMON RESURRECTION online. Many of these reviewers have discovered the film on Amazon Prime or other streaming platforms and come to it without any prior awareness of it or preconceptions about it, so their positive response is especially heartening.

(Incidentally, if you're interested in reviewing DEMON RESURRECTION for your website, blog, vlog or publication, please message me on Facebook or on Twitter for a free screener.)

As I write this, Halloween is not far off and, needless to say, DEMON RESURRECTION is an excellent choice for holiday viewing...

DEMON RESURRECTION director William Hopkins interviewed by Carey Vickers on A PODCAST FROM BENEATH...

I had the pleasure of speaking with horror movie podcaster Carey Vickers on his A PODCAST FROM BENEATH show recently, and had a great time chatting about my film, DEMON RESURRECTION – which went into production almost 15 years ago. My thanks to Carey for all his kind words about the film, and for giving me the opportunity to reminisce about it. With his great skill as an interviewer, he manages to make me sound almost coherent :) You can listen to the interview here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-t6zi4-b75c1b Thanks, Carey! – Bill Hopkins
