Walking Distance Changes Title To Experimental Activity

November 4, 2009


This news is genuinely surprising to us. According to The Hollywood Reporter, filmmaker Mel House's indie horror flick Walking Distance has undergone a title change just on the cusp of this week's AFM. It'll now be called Experimental Activity, no doubt to capitalize on the involvement of actress Katie Featherston, one of the two leads of Paranormal Activity.

According to the post, Showcase Entertainment has acquired the international rights to Experimental Activity. "Clearly having the fastest-rising star in the business is a feather in the cap, but we feel the film stands on its own as a cool psychological thriller," Showcase president David Jackson said.

This film also marks the return of actress Adrienne King in front of the camera, making this her first appearance on film since Friday The 13th Part 2. The cast also includes Phantasm's Reggie Bannister, genre vet Debbie Rochon, former Fango "Spooksmodel" Shannon Lark, Texas based actors Denton Blane Everett, Glenn Morshower and Kathy Lamkin.

We'll have more on Experimental Activity from AFM later this week.

"Clearly having the fastest-rising star in the business is a feather in the cap..."

Katie Featherston...uh really? Her acting wasn't exactly solid. I definitely wouldn't go so far as to call her the 'fastest-rising star in the business.'

Whatever credibility the movie had before the title change is completely gone now. I'd think they'd want people to see the movie because its good, not what the title is. This will be on the Blockbuster shelf next to Paranormal Activity collecting dust forever.

Seriously? With a cast that full of genre vets and a synopsis that reads as a tribute to Silent Hill/Lovecraft, how can you go wrong?

Ok in response to these comments, I ask, what was the last film either of you (HA or Mr. Jive) made? Walking distance is still going to be Walking Distance domestically, the name change is for the foreign market. I'm sure that sitting in your mom's basement, and working at the local Love's rest stop, you have plenty of time to criticize the work of others. Good Job!

Amen!!! Well said, Edcrophilia!

That's what the internet is for...criticizing anonymously. Sounds terrible. Don't like what i have to say? Go somewhere else.


And It's not a basement, it's a converted garage.
