Any and every lover of music in the 90s should be aware of Eric Zimmerman, at least those who claim to be rock fans. Seriously, this is the guy behind Soundgarden’s “Jesus Christ Pose” and Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like A Hole” as well as Ministry’s “Stigmata” and Corrosion of Conformity’s “Dance of the Dead;” seriously LOOK HIM UP if this is all news to you. Anyway, there was a point here, I promise, I just got a little excited there. Oh yeah, so this incredible mind behind so many of the best music videos, so many of my favorites, is making his entry into film with the release of a dark, sci fi feature entitled Caller ID Entity. Not straight up horror, but check out the trailer, this is some scary stuff. Based on actual phone messages and testimonials, this sci-fi movie explores phenomena from victims of mind control research and features James Duval, Nathan Bexton, Denny Kirkwood, Douchan Gersi, Triton B. King, Carrie Hayes, Roxy Saint, Elissa Dowling, with John Cho and Peter Greene. Zimmerman’s film debut will be released via ITN Distribution.
“This movie was inspired by real-life phone messages I received from an anonymous woman. The messages are very disturbing, and I imagined what the story behind them could be. As I investigated further, I discovered a whole underground network of psychological torture, victims of mind control experimentation. Everything in the movie is based on real messages and victim testimonials. It makes you wonder where this technology is really going in the near future,” explains Zimmerman. “To reverse-engineer a story from actual phone messages is a different approach to making a movie. I’m not sure if its ever been done before. The style also reflects the fragmentation and paranoia of having your brain hacked. This project, though challenging, inspired all of us to push beyond the limits of the traditional film-making process.”
Should you be an LA local, first of all, we hate you, but seriously, there will be a pre-screening of the film at Ahrya Fine Arts By Laemmle.
