We've been talking about Ramzi Abed's Telephone World for quite some time, and we now have the chance to see the first ten minutes, which are primarily in the form of the opening titles of the film with original music by The Bystanders. Abed promises the entire film will be premiering soon.
As he told us previously, "This project is drenched in suspense and is beyond voyeuristic also. It has things happen in it that I've never seen before ever, including the opening shot, which is of a camera being thrown and bounced down several blocks of Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, and the main body of the film, which was shot in one continuous live shot in one single take in multiple video formats. Not to mention some of the sound design created and being created by sound genius Borja Sau (Portland, Box of Shadows). It's chock full of surprises.

Word of The Theatre Bizarre alumnus Buddy Giovinazzo's new flick has finally hit this crazy thing we lovingly call the interwebs, and we have the details for you on tap and ready to be poured into your horror-loving cerebellum.
According to Bloody Disgusting Giovinazzo is getting behind the camera for Ginger, a new supernatural horror film set to lens next week in Los Angeles.
Elissa Dowling (Manson Rising, Telephone World, The Theatre Bizarre, Waiting for Dracula) has landed the lead title role alongside Marc Senter (Red White & Blue, The Lost, I Know Who Killed Me, Cabin Fever 2).
Senter will play a music blogger named Mark who discovers an up and coming singer, Ginger (Dowling). He travels to interview her in an old house in the mountains where strange things begin to happen. Apparently the previous owners were mass murders, and now the house in haunted by malevolent spirits.

Filmmaker Ramzi Abed's reality horror film Telephone World is nearing completion, and he has provided Dread Central readers with a clip of what he considers a pivotal moment. He advised, "Turn out the lights, and turn it up. It's a piece of the mood and magic of the film... Everything that happens in it is 100% real."
As he told us previously, "This project is drenched in suspense and is beyond voyeuristic also.

It was just about a year ago when we first heard about writer/director Ramzi Abed's latest project, Telephone World, and now we have an update for you along with the official teaser trailer.
Abed says that Telephone World is easily his best film. He continues, "I just locked picture, visual fx, and color-correction, and I can't believe it. Although the movie needs to get into its final audio sweetening, even with the first full rough sound mix... it's mind-blowing. Elissa Dowling (Abolition, The Theatre Bizarre, Dread) elicits a performance unrivaled by any other actor or actress I've seen in a movie ever. Yes, I said 'ever'. It should really and truly have people questioning what they are seeing. More so than any reality horror film before it, this project takes you into a world that is, for all intents and purposes, completely real. It's drenched in suspense and is beyond voyeuristic also.
