Directed by Tony Krantz
Daniel Stern, Ileana Douglas, Kevin Pollak, and Jere Burns headline director Tony Krantz's black comedy detailing the meltdown of the typical nuclear family as they attempt to rescue their little princess from a notorious serial killer. Otis Broth (Bostin Christopher) needs a date for the prom, and Riley Lawson (Ashley Johnson) is just the type of girl he's been searching for. Unfortunately for Riley, Otis has a rather sinister method of charming the fairer sex - it's got something to do with power tools and other assorted sharp objects.

"The opening night selection in the ‘Round Midnight category at SXSW was Tony Krantz’ Otis, a darkly comic twist on the torture porn genre. Dear readers, I must admit: the film was not my cup of tea, satisfying neither my taste for horror nor my pencha " [More]

"Ok, I just saw the Otis trailer as I'm getting ready to watch The Orphanage and just had to write about it. http://www.terrorfeed.com/inde x.php?id=otis-trailer At first I was thinking, "Oh great, another crappy horror flick with shiteous direction, dialogue, etc." Yet about a minute into it you're like "WTF!"
