The end of the line is near for Speed Demon, which stars Katie Cassidy (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010) and William H. Macy (Fargo) as a nun and a priest trapped on a train filled with possessed passengers.
The exorcism film will be released in select theaters and on Digital May 31 via Maverick Film and Complex Corp.
Jon Keeyes (Cult Killer) directs from a script by Domenico Salvaggio (Die).
In the movie, when Father Novak (Macy) and Sister Lu (Cassidy) board a train from Montreal to New York City, they aren’t prepared for the danger and evil that will pursue them.
After the train is taken over by the demon Asmodeus, Father Novak and Sister Lu must battle possessed passengers on a runaway train with Sister Lu forced to overcome her faltering faith and perform the first exorcism done by a nun.
“Speed Demon is an intensely fun horror movie,” commented Keeyes. “It’s got a strong story, demons, action, plenty of special effects, and truly unique characters.”
He continued, “Getting to work with Katie Cassidy and William H. Macy was a complete joy. Bill was incredible as our Father Novak, and such a professional, bringing a real heart to the character. And Katie nailed it as a nun who has lost her faith, struggles with addictions, and must overcome her past in order to become this kickass warrior nun.”
“Speed Demon delivers exactly what you want from the horror genre,” added Maverick Film president Richard Switzer. “Jon Keeyes keeps the tension high throughout, Katie Cassidy delivers a terrific performance, and William H. Macy brings an added level of gravitas. It’s a strong film we’re excited for audiences to see.”
Cassidy produces with Cecil Chambers and Vanessa Coifman. Executive producers include Switzer, Ian Niles, Andy Thompson, James Norrie, Nina Kolokouri, Stephen Huszar, Daniel Ford Beavis, Kevin Paulhus, Bayann Oluyadi, Saleem Elmasri, Clay Pecorin, John Marques, and Tyler W. Konney.
