Got news?...

A few months ago filmmaker Ramzi Abed provided us with several stills and a teaser for his upcoming metaphysical, psychedelic, drug-addled sci-fi/horror film In a Spiral State, which is being released by cutting edge studio Halo-8 Entertainment; and today we were pointed in the direction of the flick's official trailer.

The eclectic cast of In a Spiral State includes the late Gidget Gein (of shock-rock band Marilyn Manson), Bianca Barnett (Albino Farm, review), Elissa Dowling (Dread, review), Juliana Fine (the upcoming Goa), Ofri Fuchs (Twisted), Adam Meir (Waltz with Bashir), Mae Moreno (Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down), Messy Stench (of Gwar), and Lizzy Strain (The Devil's Muse, review).

"Ramzi Abed's new film is a mindbending meditation on Hollywood self-destruction, angelic interventions, and psychedelic string theory," said Matt Pizzolo, President of Halo-8. "Ramzi has pushed the creative and dramatic envelope even farther than he did in his surrealist The Devil's Muse,...

Two words that are near and dear to my heart are "metaphysical" and "psychedelic", and Ramzi Abed's new film In a Spiral State promises to be both. Along with drug-addled and mindbending. Who's making such proclamations? Who else but Halo-8 Entertainment, one of the few companies around that still manages to create and distribute daring new films.

And In a Spiral State, described as a meditation on Hollywood self-destruction, angelic interventions, and the string theory, sounds nothing if not daring. Here's a brief synopsis:

In a Spiral State portrays Los Angeles through the eyes of Daya (Ofri Fuchs), an angel who's become mesmerized by the city's interconnected yet utterly isolated inhabitants, particularly its struggling and flawed artists, frauds, drug addicts, and murderers. A second angel Gadi (Adam Meir) is unable to prevent Daya from interfering in their lives, as this empathetic angel is drawn into the frightening and twisted machinations of the city's underbelly.

Halo-8 Entertainment gave Fango the scoop that it has picked up worldwide distribution rights to the hallucinatory independent horror film In A Spiral State, directed by Ramzi Abed. The company also let us know that the filmmaker and Spiral’s stars will be signing at this weekend’s Fango convention in La.

In A Spiral State features Bianca Barnett (right, who will also be seen this year in the Mti release Albino Farm) and Lizzy Strain (above, who appeared opposite her sister Julie Strain in Abed’s previous The Devil’S Muse as well as Delta Delta Die! and others), who will appear at the Halo-8 table at the Weekend of Horrors with the director this Saturday, April 18. Spiral focuses on an angel (Ofri Fuchs) who begins to interact and interfere with the lives of humans (both good and evil), and a second angel (Adam Meir) who attempts to stop him.
