Vindicta, from SP Media Group, brings to the screen the story of a sadistic serial killer bent on exposing a truth hidden in the hollows of a burned-out abandoned building as a city erupts in violence.

The film begins as Hale, played by Michasha Armstrong, a paramedic reaches the center of a riot zone, with fires erupting around him, he rushes into a gutted building looking for a person in need. With each step, the suspense builds, and he hears footsteps, turns, and shines his flashlight on the face of an associate who keeps investigating, suddenly out of nowhere in one swift action, he is decapitated.

The paramedic escapes and makes it back to the ambulance where a mystery killer has poured gasoline around the van and as he tries to flee, it is ignited and then the driver is killed. Ahead watching we see, a stranger wearing a white Greek marble statue mask shrouded in black.

The next scene we see Lou, played by Elena Kampouris, jogging with earbuds, while we hear the shutter sounds of an unseen photographer snapping her picture. She feels something, as some say, it is possible to feel when an unknown person snaps your picture. Unable to see anyone as she scans the upscale and manicured subdivision she continues her run, reaching home without incident.

We understand as the news is playing on the flatscreen, the city is ablaze as riots are continuing for a second night. We understand from the anchor/newswoman Lana, played by Olivia Summers, law enforcement is impotent in their effort to bring peace to the city.

 

Lou’s father, Patrick, played by Jeremy Previn, is retired from the police force and is busy making her breakfast for her first big day back at work as a paramedic. When she arrives at the station, she is met with her sexist boss Rick, played by Sean Astin. She is assigned to a call deep in the riot zone.

With each call, Lou and her partner, Jason, played by Jamie M. Callica, are led by a diabolical sadistic taunting killer, who through each murder unearths elements of a deeply buried secret covered up by a handful of officials a decade earlier. Pulling the noose slowly around the past, the audience becomes witnesses to police corruption, terror, and horror.

Dark Asset Review – Fast Moving, Strong Action, Intriguing Storyline

Detective Russo, played by Travis Nelson, is following the body trail staged by the killer. We understand the killings are personal and whoever he is, at one time he knew each of the victims. that shocks and a newly recruited paramedic are forced into a deadly game of vengeance, only to discover the key to stopping the bloodshed lies in unlocking the truth of their own haunted pasts.

An edge-of-your-seat thriller, Vindicta is gripping, filled with tense, heightened suspense, and vivid murder scenes. See it! Vindicta is playing in theaters in select cities. Check local listings. Vindicta can also be seen on Demand.
