About this project

What is Parabella Nigel: Saiko Saikik Witch Bitch?

This is a dark and ugly story that I hope to turn into a beautiful film that is part arthouse and part grindhouse. I hope to make a project that is creative, full of energy and has something to say. "Saiko Saikik Witch Bitch" is about a woman named Parabella, who is a psychic that may or may not be a serial killer. She starts to have visions of people around her getting murdered. Soon her predictions come true as her clients and friends are stalked and killed. A detective then steps in to sort through the bloody mess. But will he figure out what the hell is going on in time to save the next victim?

What is a slasher noir?

"Saiko Saikik Witch Bitch" isn't quite a horror film and it isn't a film noir project either. It is, however, a highly stylized and unconventional psychological thriller with quirky characters and dark humor that features lurid and exploitative elements. There's a psycho killer on the loose snuffing out victims in a graphically violent manner via cinéma vérité visions. There's the mysterious female psychic that we root for, who is as odd as she is sexy. There's the hard-boiled detective who is determined to get to the bottom of things, and of course, there are all of those interesting and offbeat players, who go from being Parabella's clients to becoming the investigator's case load.

How do you become a part of the project?

All funds pledged will go to the production and completion of the film. The above teaser/pitch was made from public domain footage to give potential pledgers an idea of the film's mood. Once the project is funded, pre-production will begin immediately.
