Mark Pavia wants to ‘Drag’ you to hell
Filmmaker Mark Pavia [The Night Flier] was kind enough to send us the link to his short film Drag. Anything that gets accolades from Stephen King deserves your undivided attention. Happy Halloween, Mark!“DRAG” – Mark Pavia’s legendary 16mm zombie short was discovered and championed by the master of horror himself, Stephen King. This is the film that landed Pavia in the writer/director’s chair for Stephen King’s “The Night Flier”, the vampire cult classic.
Shot in and around Pavia’s home town of Lockport, Illinois, “DRAG” was also an early effort by Academy Award winning DP Mauro Fiore (AVATAR).
Never before seen online, “DRAG” inspired a generation of young horror filmmakers and fans.
“The world is dead. A lone woman, Victoria, struggles valiantly to stay alive on this desolate planet once known as Earth. But Victoria is not alone here. She shares her horrifying new world with beings of a different kind… the living dead, ferocious beasts hungrily searching for human flesh. With a sawed-off shotgun strapped to her back, Victoria drags a dead body through this horrifying new world in a desperate attempt to hold onto her humanity… to hold on to her past.”
