HAMTRAGIC

Hamtragic is a movie filmed on location in Hamtramck, Michigan, which is a small city entirely within the borders of Detroit. Paradoxically, Detroit is one of the most segregated cities in the United States, but Hamtramck is one of the most diverse. One can see every nationality and cultural influence there. Hamtramck was once heavily Polish, and one can still see the Polish and Catholic influences there. Aaron Trudgeon and Janet Komp Hyson worked as a team on writing, editing, directing and producing Hamtragic. Gary Freeman and Kal-el provided secondary assistance.  This movie was designed very much like a 50s horror movie, with suspense, decency, new ideas and a non-formulaic script. One of the hallmarks of this film is its extensive use of local talent.

Here is an overview of the movie:

A new South American tribe was discovered by accident. One of their medicinal plants was discovered by a drug cartel and a new drug was made, which was later found to have strange side effects. The tribe hated the incursion of the outside world, so they cursed the drug and the urn in which it was placed. An unsuspecting professor was slipped some of the drug by some creepy students. This caused the professor to be possessed by a murderous demon, but only when the drug was taken. The demon made the professor crave the drug and grew stronger with each dose, but it needed to find the urn that came with the drug in order to perform a ceremony to remain permanently in the body of the professor. Under the influence of the drug, the professor had no idea what was happening but continued to crave it.  As the supply dried up, though, the search for the urn became more desperate and crazed. (Approximate viewing time: 50 minutes.)
