Ti West Contributes to Vampire Renaissance With 'Dead & Lonely'

IFC will be airing an original five episode web series, Dead & Lonely, written, produced and directed by indie filmmaker Ti West (The House Of The Devil). The series will premiere on IFC.com, Monday, October 26 at Noon ET/PT. Additional episodes will air that week on IFC.com at Noon.

In the series, two Los Angeles singles are brought together via an Internet dating website, DateOrDie.net–but one of them is a vampire. West blends the classic vampire mythos with a modern edge to create a story that feels reminiscent of an early 80s dark comedy/drama. Imagine that (in a good way!) after his recently completed The House of the Devil which clearly showcases 80’s horror in all its glory. The series stars Justin Rice (Mutual Appreciation, Alexander The Last) and Paige Stark (A Relationship in Four Days).

It’s great to see West taking advantage of the web series medium which is gaining popularity and plays well into his style. I’m really looking forward to seeing what else this original and smart filmmaker has to offer.
