John Doolan, the screenwriter of Synthetic Cinema International’s fifth feature Sasquatch Assault, got in touch to give us the skinny on the movie, currently shooting in Norwalk, Connecticut. Co-produced by Vijaya Cine Enterprises, the film is being produced and directed by Andrew Gernhard (who previously served as producer on Synthetic’s genre outings Banshee!!!, Blood Descendents and Werewolf: The Devil’s Hound, among others, and dropped us some FX-test and early set photos—see below).
“I took a lot of inspiration from some of John Carpenter's films, like The Fog, The Thing, Prince Of Darkness and Assault On Precinct 13,” Doolan tells Fango. “I have to admit that I also watched a lot of the not-so-successful Sasquatch films to avoid making any similar mistakes.” Starring Synthetic alumni Greg Nutcher, Hank Torrance, Cristina Santiago, Michael Wrann and Kevin Shea, along with newcomers Alex Exum, Cuyle Carvin, Sarah J.
