Murder Manual
When it comes to murder, they wrote the book
Directed by Sam N. Powell, Michael Escobedo, Nour Wazzi, Matt Newton, Kelly Hallmark, Toni Tikkanen
A horror anthology that strings together dark, violent vignettes designed to unsettle and disturb, with minimal warmth or resolution.
Creepy, terrifying chapters from our book of horror include a little girl's journey from a world of nightmares into the nightmare of reality, a gay couple's romantic getaway in Palm Springs that turns murderous, a young woman whose rideshare turns deadly, and a girl who is held captive by a circus that must be rescued by her husband.
