Atlas Film Distribution has premiered the trailer for “The Mean One,” a slasher parody film starring “Terrifier” actor David Howard Thornton as an unauthorised darkly comedic spin on classic Dr. Seuss character The Grinch.
The story takes place in the little town of Newville where a green monster lurks menacingly in his home in the mountains above. Every holiday season, the beast dons a red Santa suit and pays a visit to the village to wreak havoc among its citizens.
Young Cindy You-Know-Who lost both of her parents to the monster twenty years ago and has now returned to Newville in search of vengeance. With the grumpy, green-skinned menace ready to kill once again, Cindy has to figure out a way to defeat him before he can ruin Christmas.
Steven LaMorte (“Bury Me Twice”) helms the project from a script by Flip and Finn Kobler. Chase Mullins, John Bigham, and Erik Baker co-star. “The Mean One” is set for a limited theatrical run on December 9th.
