Having exploded onto the scene with his original superb short, Roid Rage – a grindhouse style indie flick about a guy with killer hemorrhoids which he wrote, shot, directed, edited and scored the film himself – Ryan Lightbourn has got behind the camera for his feature-film debut with vicious creature feature Sleepwalkers, shot in the Floridian bayous and swamps and starring Ansley Gordon, Amanda Phillips, Tommy Goodman, Ben Owen, and Ben Evans.
Sleepwalkers tells the story of five college students as they attempt to enjoy a festive spring break getaway, only to encounter a deadly, nocturnal presence. As horrific events unfold, the group joins forces with a local convenience store owner and a prison escapee. Nighttime approaches and they must set aside their differences and use their wits to survive.
Currently wrapping up post-production, Sleepwalkers is only a few short months away from completion and, having submitted the film to a number of film festivals,...

Ryan Lightbourn ("Roid Rage") continues to move his creature feature Sleepwalkers through production. This film was shot in the local Floridian bayous and swamps. And recently, Lightbourn released a second, longer trailer for this film. The clip shows more of the film's practical effects and characters, in peril. As well, Sleepwalkers stars Ansley Gordon, Amanda Phillips, Tommy Goodman, Ben Owen and Ben Evans. The film's second trailer and two new stills are hosted here. In the story, several Spring Breakers find a nightcrawler, in the local everglades. The partying is replaced by blood curdling screams. Now, these friends will have to team up with a group of locals, to take down one of Florida's most dangerous myths. Will anyone survive? As an update, Lightbourn is in the post-production phase of filming. Sleepwalkers will be completed shortly. Then, the film will begin a film festival run and a release date will be announced shortly.

Ryan Lightbourn is the director of “Roid Rage”, a film that our own Todd Rigney seemed to enjoy quite a bit. You can read his review for that inspired tale of depravity here. Lightbourn has followed up that gruesome effort with, from the looks of it, another rather bloody tale of woe in the horror “Sleepwalkers”. Check out the first trailer for the film, along with a poster and some images below. Strangely, it’s not about finding a cure for sleepwalking. Go figure. Set in the deepest corners of Florida’s woods, five college students attempt to enjoy a festive spring break getaway when they encounter a deadly, nocturnal presence. As horrific events unfold, the group joins forces with a local convenience store owner and a prison escapee. With night time approaching, they must set aside their differences and use their wits to survive. Starring Ansley Gordon, Amanda Phillips,...

The pain. The itch. The burning. There's no salve or ointment known to man that can quench this poor soul's anal horrors. A new trailer for Roid Rage is here ... and it's exactly what you think it is. You've been warned.
That's right, kids! There's no amount of Preparation H to save you from Ryan Lightbourn's Roid Rage starring Zach Canfield, John Russo, Ben Evans, John Archer Lundgren, Grayson Lauffenburger, and Randi Lee Krasni. It is exactly what you think it is ... lowbrow, gore-heavy entertainment! Just the way we like it!
The plot follows what happens when mutilated hookers begin to surface in a small rural town and two FBI agents end up discovering an unspeakable terror unlike anything they’ve ever encountered. Yep. We're sold!
Dig on the trailer and the artwork below. For more check out the official Roid Rage website and Roid Rage Facebook page!

Roid Rage
Stars: Zach Canfield, John Russo, Ben Evans, John Archer Lundgren, Grayson Lauffenburger, Randi Lee Krasny | Written and directed by Ryan Lightbourn
“Sammy Jenkins was a simple man who lived a simple life, until a genetic mutation sent his world spiraling out of control. Now, being hunted by the men responsible for his deformity, as well as the FBI, Sammy must fight back with his unique abilities in order to survive. Those unique abilities include the giant killer hemorrhoid growing out of his ass.”
Just when I thought I’d seen it all, along comes a killer hemorrhoid movie to totally mess with my head! Taking a cue from Frank Henlotter’s Brain Damage, Ryan Lightbourn’s Roid Rage features a down at heel protagonist who, thanks to circumstances beyond his control, becomes an out of control killer who must feed his new-found deformity – in this case a killer...

Review by Mike Pickle, MoreHorror.com
"They're coming after you Sammy" "Who's coming after me?" "Everyone". A mysterious female voice whispers an ominous warning on the other line as Sammy tries to make sense of his strange (and very gross) affliction. One of the many strangely captivating scenes in Roid Rage. A beautifully shot Horror / Comedy short film from Cinematographer Ryan Lightbourn who also produced, wrote, directed and edited this nasty little gem.
This gory, zany, but very well made 14-minute Horror ride centers around Sammy (Zach Canfield). A down on his luck, loveable loser who works at a nuclear power plant. His humdrum life is turned upside down when he develops an itchy and mutating deformity. A giant killer hemorrhoid growing out of his ass! Now FBI Agent Jenkins (John Russo) and Agent Munroe (Ben Evans) are after him in connection with the murders of a bunch of local hookers.

The news concerning upcoming indie film Roid Rage has absolutely nothing to do with steroids. Nor does it have a single thing to do with asteroids. However, it does very much have to do with one unlucky man's ass and the vicious creature that flies out of his anus like the jaws on a xenomorph from Alien. Color me enchanted!

Coming soon from the twisted mind of director/cinematographer Ryan Lightbourn is Roid Rage, the Movie! Better known for Sleepwalkers, Lightbourn has a new tale to spin and a longer short film that's certain to get some body parts twitching.
The trailer needs to be seen to be believed. At least with what FBI Agents Jenkins (John Russo) and Munroe (Ben Evans) discovers, there's more to the chaos that's going on in a small rural town being plagued by a Jack the Ripper wannabe.
They get more than they can ever bargain for, and the hilarity and terror that ensues needs to be seen than to be believed. Judgement Day cannot come soon enough. Maybe hopping on a trip on the Nostromo is better?
Status: Post-production.
Director/D.P./Editor: Ryan Lightbourn.
Cast: John Russo, Ben Evans, Zach Canfield, John Archer Lungdren, Grayson Lauffenburger, and Randi Lee Krasny.
