It’s not like Thanksgiving.

In The Silence of the Prey, an undocumented immigrant mother (Karyna Kudzina, Law & Order) who takes a caretaker job for an elderly man, only to discover a horrifying truth about the harvest rituals he and his family indulge in – and what, or who is on the holiday menu.

The film, Kudzina’s directorial debut, was “inspired by a true story…described as a social justice-themed horror story” according to the movie’s official description. Kudzina co-directed with Michael Vaynberg and wrote the script along with Saro Varjabedian. The film comes from The Horror Collective, Entertainment Squad’s genre label.

The film also stars Monte Bezell, Michael Doyle, Lorianna Izrailova, Chris LaPanta, Rebecca Packer, and Tim Shelbourne.

Producers Monte Bezell and Den Tolmor commented in a joint statement: “Our film encapsulates the harrowing vanishing of thousands, shrouding the boundary between the enigmatic and the inconceivable. It stands as a chilling homage to the terrors that reverberate within the void of the absent, an uncompromising, spine-tingling saga that compels us to confront the abyss lurking amidst our midst.”

“The film addresses the dangers that undocumented immigrants sometimes face while trying to provide for their families without the protections that most people enjoy,” said Shaked Berenson, CEO of Studio Dome. “Silence of the Prey is a perfect follow-up to The Horror Collective’s Ghosts of the Void which also explores social justice issues.”

Silence of the Prey is scheduled to make its debut on May 14 on digital and VOD.
