“Devil Girl,” a thriller movie shot on Route 66 in and around the Mojave Desert town of Amboy, Calif., is slated for a limited release beginning April 11, producer and co-screenwriter Tracy Wilcox said in an e-mail.
The film will be screened at midnight on April 11 and April 12 at Laemmle’s Sunset 5 at 8000 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif. If reaction to the film is good, it may receive a somewhat wider release afterward, Wilcox said.
“Devil Girl” will be released on DVD on June 3. It will be available for purchase at major retail outlets, as well as the “Devil Girl” Web site.
In addition to Amboy, “Devil Girl” also was shot on Route 66 in Groom, Texas, and St. Louis.
Here’s the synopsis:
Fay is a small town girl on a road trip to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. When her muscle car breaks down during a drag race, she finds herself stranded in a creepy desert town along Route 66. In order to make enough money to repair her car, she resorts to exotic dancing, and before she knows it her road trip has become a nightmare. Trapped and desperate, she discovers the locals: a neurotic drug-abusing clown, an overzealous preacher, and a sexy woman with horns and a tail.
Here’s a trailer for the film:
