SOUL SLASHER: Curtis W. Harrison Seeks $50K to Bring Psychological Horror Film to Life
Independent filmmaker shares promotional trailer for a new slasher exploring trauma, vengeance, and the monsters society creates.
Independent horror continues to thrive through the determination of filmmakers willing to bring their darkest visions to life. Queens-based writer, director, and producer Curtis W. Harrison is looking to do exactly that with SOUL SLASHER, an upcoming psychological horror feature currently seeking $50,000 in production funding. You can help support the indie horror community by donating to the film production here.
Blending classic slasher suspense with psychological mystery, Soul Slasher explores childhood trauma, buried secrets, violent revenge, and the disturbing question of what ultimately creates a monster.
The story follows a man whose history of childhood abuse and his mother's murder drives him down a violent path. After escaping prison, he becomes the masked Soul Slasher, targeting abusers who have escaped justice. As detectives close in, his deadly crusade raises questions about vigilantism, morality, and the lasting consequences of trauma.
The film aims to explore the increasingly blurred line between justice and vengeance, bringing a psychological dimension to the familiar masked-killer formula.
Beyond the Mask: The Psychology of Soul Slasher
While the masked killer remains one of horror cinema's most recognizable figures, Soul Slasher draws inspiration from the psychological darkness beneath the violence.
On the film's official blog, Harrison explores the concept of a "soul slasher," describing a figure who targets something deeper than the physical body: a person's fears, emotional wounds, and sense of self.
The filmmaker draws comparisons to horror icons such as Freddy Krueger, Pennywise, and the entity from The Babadook, characters whose terror extends into dreams, trauma, and psychological vulnerability.
That thematic approach connects directly to Soul Slasher, where childhood abuse, personal tragedy, and an obsession with vengeance shape the central killer's descent into violence.
The result is a premise that invites audiences to consider an unsettling question: What happens when the victim of unimaginable cruelty becomes the very thing others fear?
Bringing Soul Slasher to the Screen
Harrison is currently seeking $50,000 to support production, with funding going toward cast and crew, filming locations, camera and lighting equipment, production design, special effects, sound, and post-production.
The filmmaker has released a promotional trailer offering horror fans an early look at the project's visual direction and atmosphere.
For Harrison, the project represents an opportunity to explore suspense, psychological conflict, and the darker corners of human behavior through independent filmmaking.
With the feature still in development, an official release date has yet to be announced.
