“He wasn’t brought into our life for any good reason…” Dark Sky Films has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller called Death Letter Blues, marking the feature directorial debut of two new up-and-coming filmmakers named Michael Stevantoni & Strack Azar. They both wrote and directed this, and it premiered back in 2023 in Austin. Now finally arriving on VOD and in a few theaters this August for anyone interested in finding out what’s going on in this small town. “I know what you did…” A small town is rattled by the mysterious death of “Feral Boy,” a local legend found in the woods as a child. Father Moss, a priest with a loose grip on the faith, uncovers haunting parallels between this tragedy and his own nightmares in this Southern Gothic psychological horror thriller film. The film stars Sherman Augustus as Father Moss, Karole Foreman, Ramsay Midwood, Arianna Ngnomire, and Keylor Leigh. This looks chilling and mysterious, with a lot going on involving this priest and people in this town. Horror fans should take a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Stevantoni & Azar’s horror Death Letter Blues, from YouTube:
“Dark is the night. Cold is the ground.” A small town is rattled by the sudden and mysterious death of “Feral Boy,” a local legend since his discovery in the woods as a child. Father Moss (Sherman Augustus), a priest with a loose grip on the faith, attempts to counsel the forlorn couple that raised the boy. He soon uncovers haunting parallels between this grisly incident and his own recurring nightmares. Death Letter Blues is co-written & co-directed by indie filmmakers Michael Stevantoni (also a production designer) & Strack Azar (also a colorist), both making their feature directorial debut after making many other short films previously. Produced by Sherman Augustus, S. Michael Nicholas, Sho Schrock. This first premiered at the 2023 Austin Revolution Film Festival a few years ago. Dark Sky Films will release Stevantoni & Azar’s Death Letter Blues direct-to-VOD starting on August 8th, 2025. For more film info, visit their official site.
