A Fetish of Flesh
A brutal indie horror film from Demented Media
We’re creating a raw, practical-effects-driven horror film inspired by the unapologetic terror of the late ’70s and early ’80s. A Fetish of Flesh is designed to feel dangerous, immersive, and unforgettable—built for true horror fans who miss when movies actually disturbed audiences.
The Story
A group of young filmmakers inherits an isolated rural home and chooses it as the setting for their senior thesis film. What begins as an exciting creative opportunity quickly turns into a nightmare as they uncover a violent legacy tied to the house.
As night falls, reality collapses into survival horror. What they thought was fiction becomes something far more real—and far more deadly.
The film blends traditional storytelling with subtle found-footage elements to heighten tension and immersion. Inspired by real-world horror, folklore, and classic slashers, it delivers a grounded yet deeply disturbing experience.
