World Premiere - CHicago Int. Film Festival 2010 - LOCAL FILMMAKER DEBUTS FEATURE FILM

Online, September 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - THE DEFILED - USA, Black & White, 100 Minutes Written & Directed by Julian Grant

In a post apocalyptic world, science and technology have backfired leaving unfathomable destruction and a permanently diseased planet in its wake. A virus is mutating the human race turning innocent survivors into mindless cannibals. In a savage future world devoid of hope, a man infected with the deadly viral disease must cope with the burden of a new born son, ensuring his survival.

Columbia College Chicago faculty member Julian Grant shot this independent feature film in Chicagoland and nearby Gary and LaPorte Indiana using a small crew, little money and lots of blood and guts. More than a mindless monster movie this fine art horror film is an audacious, original and disturbing take on traditional family values.

"THE DEFILED may be the most nihilistic zombie film I've seen since NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with beautiful cinematography that recalls both that film and CARNIVAL OF SOULS. Julian Grant has crafted a cinematic meditation on family that should tear the family values crowd to pieces."

- Greg Lamberson, SLIME CITY MASSACRE and PERSONAL DEMONS
