Please calm down.

“HYSTERICUS” is a bloody, satirical horror short set in 2007 — a “period-period” piece that tackles menstruation, shame, and fear. As a(n alternate-reality) prequel to feature film THE BUTCHER, this twisted tale blends dark humour with body horror to lay the foundation for super-natural vengeance.

“Such a gory perspective from director Jessica Richmond that we must show men and women in [our city] your thoughts. Some women may agree…”
