Lovecaftian monsters rise from the sea in Minore, coming to DVD<\/a> and VOD next Tuesday, September 30, from Freestyle Digital Media.<\/p>\n

The Greek cosmic horror-adventure-comedy is directed by visual effects artist Konstantinos Koutsoliotas (Guardians of the Galaxy, Nightmare Alley).<\/p>\n

On a steamy summer night at the Greek seaside, a young sailor arrives in search of his absent musician father. As he navigates the local nightlife, he meets a sympathetic waitress. The strange old man at the hotel whom the sailor suspects to be his father introduces him to a group of local taverna musicians.<\/p>\n

Life seems to go on as normal; however, strange creatures plague the city, attacking people and pulling others into the sea with strange dreams. The old man is hit by a car, and his wild ramblings hint that there\u2019s a connection between the monsters and the local music he plays. The church congregation is turned into gooey corpses. The taverna is dramatically attacked and the army blockades the streets.<\/p>\n

The musicians join forces with a bodybuilder, a granny, local thugs, an undead priest and the sailor for an ultimate showdown with the monsters at the local church if they can just find the right song.<\/p>\n

Davide Tucci, Maria-Nefeli Douka, Eleftheria Komi, Efi Papatheodorou, Christos Kontogeorgis, Daphne Alexander, Stelios Dimopoulos, Nicolas Bravos, Apollon Bollas, Constantin Symsiris, Makis Papadimitratos, Meletis Georgiadis, Igor G\u00f3rewicz, Christos Callow, and Giannis Zouganelis star.<\/p>\n

Koutsoliotas co-wrote the script with storyboard\/concept artist Elizabeth E. Schuch (Wonder Woman, Pacific Rim: Uprising).<\/p>\n

\u201cMinore is my love letter to Greece \u2014 a delirious cocktail of Lovecraftian monsters, splatter, bouzouki, awkward dinners, and unexpected song and dance,\u201d said Koutsoliotas. \u201cIt\u2019s Greece like you\u2019ve never seen it: heartfelt, hilarious, and dripping with cosmic gore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
