PLANKENSTEIN: A KILLER SURF MOVIE! will be released worldwide on November 7th on multiple platforms including Amazon Prime, Fandango, TubiTV, PlutoTV, Vimeo and Bloodstream.
Plankenstein is a comedy horror Executive Produced by Cinesthesia Factory and directed by Diq Diamond (Potluck With Smooch, Tales of the Circle Keys) and stars Amy Jennings (A Place Among The Dead) as Police Captain Miller, Alex Dayuha (Red One) as charming local surfer Kalani, and introduces Leilani Ramos as Lili, the unsuspecting heir to the Hawaiian throne.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Kailua, Oahu, "Plankenstein" combines the sun-soaked world of surfing with the blood-curdling thrills of classic horror. The film follows the carnage unleashed by a cursed surfboard, dubbed Plankenstein, as it protects a secret Hawaiian royal heir through a series of gruesome, often darkly comic murders.
