Victoria, TX (1888PressRelease) February 01, 2011 - "Yorktown" is a 1970's inspired slasher (horror) film that takes place in the City of Yorktown. It's about a group of friends that upon hearing of Yorktown Memorial Hospital decide to take a road trip to the haunted location and "investigate".
What they don't realize is that someone has taken up residence in the building and they begin to die off one-by-one while they are exploring.

The movie's premiere is at the Santikos Palladium IMAX Theater, in San Antonio, Texas, May 11th, 2011 at 8:00pm. The movie will then be distributed, by fall of 2011, on DVD and through Netflix. For Ticket info visit: www.yorktownmovie.com
Our cast, crew, and production staff of 40 are from Goliad, LaVernia, San Antonio, Weesatche, and Yorktown. One of our Yorktown cast members now lives in Louisiana but is traveling to be in the film to show her Yorktown pride. Two of our cast members are Hollywood actors.

We are a happy group of people that plan to make small towns the areas and locations in which we film. So many small towns hold so much history and have great architecture that is wanting to be discovered and allowed to shine. To leave them hidden is a shame. Our goal for this film is that it be successful and with its success, return the support and generosity from the community and to give back in a productive and meaningful way.

Our intent is to develop and create films showcasing various genres, especially Horror. We feel that films today, most notably horror, are missing an important element that has not been seen since the mid 80s. That is, the characters having a bond or friendship that is noticeable on screen. Too many films today rely on the power of graphic special effects and have lost sight of the human element of a film. It's the connections these characters have that move a story along and gets the audience vested in the outcome. This is one reason that so many remakes of great 80s films are coming up flat and uninspiring and don't effect audiences in the same way today. We hope to influence this change with this film and other film projects we have on the horizon.

The movie's fan page on Facebook has gained over 1,200 fans since September 1st and continues to grow everyday. We are humbled to have grown such a healthy fan base so early in the movies creation. We look forward to a successful venture with this film project.
