A PEACEFUL TOWN VIOLENTLY RUNS AMOK IN THE TERRIFYING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Available May 6th

A
quiet, peaceful town is about to experience its worst nightmare as Elite
Entertainment presents the psychological thriller “Strange Behavior,” the
first-ever screenplay written by the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of
“Chicago,” Bill Condon. “Strange
Behavior” will be available on May 6th at a suggested retail price
of $19.95.
The
setting is Galesburg, Illinois, one of those towns where everything is always
peaceful and nothing ever happens. But
that’s all about to change as a brutal serial killer begins terrorizing and
mutilating the teenagers of Galesburg. As
fear reaches a pinnacle, law enforcement officer John Brady (Michael Murphy)
narrows his search down to the psychology department at the high school, where a
mysterious research program on behavioral control is taking place.
Determined
to uncover the truth, Brady’s search becomes personal as he discovers his own
son has unwittingly become involved in the experiments. Brady must race against the clock to save his son, and reveal
the true meaning behind the town’s strange behavior.
“Strange
Behavior” was written by Bill Condon and Michael Laughlin, produced by Anthony
I. Ginnane and John Barrett and directed by Michael Laughlin.
The DVD has a running time of 87 minutes, and is rated R.
