The new film from Saban Films, AMERICAN CARNAGE, is hitting theaters, on demand & digital on July 15.

After a governor issues an executive order to arrest the children of undocumented immigrants, the newly detained youth are offered an opportunity to have their charges dropped by volunteering to provide care to the elderly. Once inside the eldercare facility, the volunteers discover the governor and the facility’s supervisor have cooked up a horrifyingly depraved conspiracy that endangers the young and the old in this twisted thriller-comedy.

The film stars Jorge Lendeborg Jr, Jenna Ortega, Allen Maldonado, Bella Ortiz, Jorge Diaz, Yumarie Morales, Catherine McCafferty, with Brett Cullen and Eric Dane.

I had the opportunity to chat with writer & director Diego Hallivis about the inspiration for his new film AMERICAN CARNAGE that he wrote alongside with his brother Julio Hallivis. We also discuss the use of practical effects vs. CGI, the cast members, and more.
