‘Everyone’s dying to play!’
Rock Paper Dead is a 2017 American horror thriller directed by Tom Holland (Twisted Tales; Thinner; Child’s Play; Fright Night) from a screenplay by Kerry Fleming and Victor Miller (A Stranger is Watching; Friday the 13th) that is reminiscent of Holland’s own Psycho II (1983). It stars Michael Madsen, Tatum O’Neal and Maureen McCormick.
The film’s score is by Harry Manfredini (Needlestick; Friday the 13th films).
Serial killer, Peter “the Doll Maker” Harris returns to his ancestral family home after being released from the state’s hospital for the criminally insane after ten years – having been deemed to be a “cured” man.
Once inside the old house, anguished memories from a tortured childhood and ghostly visitations from his past victims shake Peter’s resolve. It isn’t until lovely young Ashley enters his life that Peter makes a fateful decision, a decision that will rekindle old desires that always ended in murder…
