Noah Segan To Accept Chiller-Eyegore Award
Noah Segan, star of Dark Sky's critically-acclaimed groundbreaking film, DEADGIRL, will accept a Chiller-Eyegore Award at Universal Studios Hollywood's opening night ceremony for the theme park's "Halloween Horror Nights" event tonight (Friday, October 2) at 7:00pm. Director Rob Zombie and actor Tobin Bell will join Segan as honorees, as will Oscar-winning special effects makeup artist Rick Baker. The Chiller Eyegore Awards, which will be hosted by Corey Feldman, will serve as the opening night event at Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights, which begins its 16-night run tonight.
Brooklyn-born Noah Segan, who now resides in Hollywood, stars in DEADGIRL as "JT" one of two high school misfits who cut out of school and go wandering in the decaying remains of a nearby abandoned mental hospital. While roaming the dank basement halls they make a gruesome discovery: a young woman stripped naked and chained to a table, a plastic bag over her head. She seems dead, until one of the boys touches her and she moves. Rickie wants to call the police, but JT stops him – he has more demented plans in mind for the helpless girl. When another male friend learns about the captive girl, the violence and sexual depravity are amped up even further.
The coming-of-age genre has never seen anything like DEADGIRL. Christopher Webster -- executive producer of "Hellraiser" and "Heathers" – and co-directors Marcel Sarmiento ("Heavy Petting") and Gadi Harel have created a film that has taken a daring new direction.
DEADGIRL, which is now available on DVD, is "One of the smartest teen horrors I've watched in some time," raved the critic at Indiewire. Slashfilm said the movie "floats smoothly between dark comedy and horror, and the result is a coming-of-age film like you've never seen before (or will likely ever see again)." The Ain't It Cool News reviewer said, "I have never seen a film that so absolutely captured the sheer horror of peer pressure," while Variety noted that it "skirts the edge without going over, and judging from the raucous reception, twisted auds clearly do exist for such blatantly 'wrong' material."
This year, Universal Studios Hollywood is partnering with Chiller in the presentation of the newly expanded Chiller-Eyegore Awards, which will be broadcast as interstitial programming on Chiller later in October and hosted by actor Corey Feldman. The Chiller-Eyegore Awards will acknowledge actors, artists and filmmakers in a variety of categories specific to the horror genre.
