The Ghost of Molly Brown

About The Film: Set in the present, but somehow filmed in 1972, The Ghost of Molly Brown dishes up the slasher film mixed with a supernatural mystery to bring you an exploitation film never to forget.

Molly Brown is an apsiring actress and is about to start production on her first ever film, and to celebrate, she and her supportive boyfriend, Derek, go to a small, celebratory party being held by her make-up artist and costumer on the film. It all goes horribly wrong when they are stalked by a killer horror fans will drool over. In the end, everyone is killed.

Derek, mourning the loss of his love is dealing with her loss as he starts to see her walking around and claims she is talking to him, while Molly wakes up in a graveyard and finds out she’s a ghost. The land owner, Buggy, a war veteran zombie, teams up with Molly to help her find out who killed her and why, but it won’t be easy with legions of Satan’s army coming after her. Molly has to find out why she died, and by extension, why she is a ghost and hasn’t moved on to the next life. In the end, Molly will find out why she was killed and by who, but will come to realise that she is actually the pawn in a much bigger game of chess.

This film is a throwback to the era of 70s trash but is also a love letter to the legendary slashers of late 70s and early 80s, for which this film would not exist without them, as well as the horror genre in general.

This film is the first in a planned trilogy, the second and third films being, to say the least, very different from this film.
