"I'm so excited for people to see our film in a 185 seat theater," explains producer, writer and director LoCicero, "The pandemic dealt our original theatrical premiere plans a death blow, so this is a very exciting night for us all."

Fresh from their world premiere on streaming service Amazon Prime and Vudu, The Killers Next Door is a feature-length thriller filmed entirely in New England with a local cast and crew. The film tells the story of a young couple's weekend getaway that soon becomes a bloody fight for survival when they cross paths with two desperate ex-convicts on the run.

"We wrapped filming in fifteen days, which by all accounts is a daunting schedule for a feature-length film," explains LoCicero, "We assembled an amazing local cast, some incredible talent behind the camera, creating costumes, fight scenes, and stunts - with firearms, and thoroughly bloody special effects makeup. I have to say that this cast and crew went above and beyond to create the final product. It really was New England indie filmmaking at its finest."

Lead actors Rosanna Jimenez (FBI: Most Wanted) and Sean Carmichael (Monsterland 2, The Wrong Todd), play Ro and Sean, an upscale young couple looking for a peaceful weekend away from the pressures of the city. David Pridemore (Signs of Love, How to Rob) stars as menacing ex-convict Bobby, opposite LoCicero (Almost Human) as his foster brother Ryan. After a standoff with some shifty locals played by Richard Donelly (Don't Look Up, Black Mass) and actress Scout Lyons (Merry Ex-Mas, Spring Break Zombie Massacre) the brothers are forced into hiding.

The dangerous pair take up residence in the vacant cabin next door to Ro and Sean, quickly insinuating themselves into the couple's weekend. Soon everyone's lives are upended, swept up in a storm of violence that leaves no one safe.

Executive Producer Nick Mazonowicz comments "We are beyond thrilled for the opportunity to finally have our local supporters and fans experience the movie together with our cast. We have been extremely humbled by the worldwide reaction thatThe Killers Next Door has received from its streaming release on Amazon Prime and Vudu and are proud to bring it home to its New England roots."

The film is distributed by Deskpop Entertainment and MPX Motion Picture Exchange and currently streaming on Amazon Prime and Vudu. ABOUT JL PICTURES
