Writer/director Eric Pennycoff’s 2018 film Sadistic Intentions uses metal and mayhem to tell a story of romantic deceit. The film stars Jeremy Gardner and Taylor Zaudtke and a big part of the movie’s appeal comes from the onscreen chemistry of the duo, who are now married in real life. Pennycoff’s new film, The Leech, had its World Premiere as the opening night film of this year’s virtual Chattanooga Film Festival, and stars Gardner, Zaudtke, and Graham Skipper. The Leech is a frenzied Christmas horror comedy about a couple who test a priest’s faith to its limit, and it has already been picked up for release by Arrow Films Video.
