Let’s be honest. We have all been to a Karaoke night where a singer thought they killing it, but all you wanted to do was kill their mic because they were murdering a song and your eardrums.
That is exactly what happened to directors Chris Lightbody and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. because they made a movie about a killer Karaoke machine, Bad Karaoke.
“We were inspired to make this film after years of painful karaoke performances nearly put us in an early grave. We found that many people have had near-death karaoke experiences and we wanted to play with that idea, as well as say something profound about the state of new music. But instead, we made Bad Karaoke.”
The film is described as: “When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her bandmates.
“Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood. When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed. After one excellent performance appears to spare someone from the machine, the band think they have found a way to beat it. But they are quickly proved wrong, and it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger before they realise they may have a chance at survival after all.”
Bad Karaoke is looking for a distributor, and I am sure it will find one after it premieres at Tubi FrightFest on August 30th.
