Adam Gierasch directed Autopsy, from a script he wrote with Jace Anderson and E.L. Katz. Adam and Jace previously collaborated as writers on the Dario Argento film, Mother of Tears, and are currently in production on Night of the Demons that Adam is directing. Autopsy stars Robert Patrick (Balls of Fury, Terminator 2), Jessica Lowndes (‘90210’) and Jenette Goldstein (Aliens) with Ross McCall (‘Band of Brothers’). Jessica Horowitz, Steve Markoff, Bruce McNall and Warren Zide produced. In Autopsy, a group of young partygoers are taken to an isolated hospital after a car accident. Once there, they become trapped in the hospital along with a number of helpless patients. Laura Ivey and Dana Lambert of After Dark Films brokered the deal with Peter Hoffman of Seven Arts Pictures who represented the filmmakers in the negotiations and is handling the international sales of the film.

“Horrorfest III’s lineup is nearly complete and we are ecstatic to be including Autopsy and Dying Breed in our festival. These two worthy additions are sure to terrify our very discerning horror audience and live up to our tradition of bringing fans well made and interesting horror films that they can’t see anywhere else,” stated After Dark CEO Courtney Solomon.

“Adam wanted to make a horror movie for horror fans, plain and simple. We couldn’t think of a better place for Autopsy than Horrorfest,” says producer Jessica Horowitz.

“We’re proud to be partnering with After Dark on this film. We’re hoping that this will be the beginning of a strong relationship between Seven Arts and After Dark Horrorfest®,” added Seven Arts chairman Peter Hoffman.
