A chilling indie horror from Wisconsin By AO Network Staff | October 2025 In Creature Fear, first-time filmmaker Manny Gumina transforms rural Wisconsin into a haunting backdrop where artistry and madness collide. The 82-minute psychological horror-thriller follows Charlie, a Chicago musician seeking creative escape, and Miriam, an ambitious local singer—whose dreams unravel when a desperate ex-convict named Paul spirals into violence. Filmed in the same Wisconsin county where serial killer Ed Gein’s gruesome crimes occurred, Creature Fear mixes Hitchcock-style suspense with gritty Midwestern realism. Gumina’s eerie storytelling, paired with Derek Schmitt’s moody cinematography and Antonio Romero’s haunting score, amplifies every unsettling moment. The result is a raw, atmospheric descent into human fear where ambition, guilt, and desperation intersect. Creature Fear is more than horror; it’s an unflinching portrait of survival and obsession from a filmmaker unafraid to explore the darkness behind the dream. https://youtu.be/OasTYMY5hBg?si=aPcdPDsA4AzzUpEo Trending Now All Post Music Video Mýa Confronts Self-Reflection in New “Face to Face” Music Video September 16, 2025 Ella Mai Shines in Confident New “Tell Her” Music Video September 12, 2025 Joyner Lucas Taps Mýa for New Visual “NVM” September 8, 2025 Join the A.O.
