Neon Maniacs
There are twelve good reasons to be afraid of the dark. And every one of them is a killer.
Directed by Joseph Mangine
Produced by Cimarron Productions
A B-movie creature feature about teenagers hunted by a dozen colorful monsters, blending 1980s horror tropes with a no-one-believes-us premise and practical creature design.
A group of teenagers in San Francisco discover a nest of homicidal monsters living in a tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, but when they try to tell authorities, no one believes them.
