Wilson slices open the black heart of Hollywood, exposing its nastiest demons for our pulse-pounding pleasure. -Lotti Pharriss Knowles, Producer: Chastity Bites, & Goddess: The Showgirls Chronicles

CITY OF DEVILSLos Angeles and Lucifer are a lot alike. They both seduce and lure with promises of wealth, fame, beauty or love. But those promises are often empty; and even when they’re not, there’s a price to pay.

Come meet the denizens of City of Devils: Natasha is an underrated actress who goes to great lengths to win an Oscar in Based on a true story. In Doom for Rent a young man takes on a roommate to make ends meet, only to find he’s opened the door to pure evil. Geneva Hughes is a wealthy celebutant who loves her chihuahua Boo-Boo to death in Ankle Biters. Private dick Max Ryker gets more than he bargained for in The Case of the Butchered Bombshell. Tourist Ethel learns there’s no such thing as Free Admission. Child actor Cosmo Colombo finds out what he’s made of when The Big One hits L.A. in Richter Mortis. Are the paparazzi soulless? Find out in Remote Trigger. A narcissist devours the weak in Depraved Indifference, while the meek fight back against a sleazy film producer in He Was Asking For It. Partygoers in Abracadaver practice supernatural sleight-of-hand during a seance at The Magic Castle. A psychic shyster gets his comeuppance in My Mother the Carcass, while Malibu surfer Bjorn meets a malicious mermaid in Tasty Waves. Lastly, a lonely lady’s desperation to be thin and beautiful could cost her her life in Alice on Wonderland.

City of Devils is an intoxicating mixture of white-knuckle horror and laugh-out-loud gallows humor. - Daniel Love, producer: The Occult

Reader beware, you’re in for a scare! A travelogue through sinister L.A., accompanied by a soundtrack of sinful rock and roll, City of Devils will keep you awake all night. - Abigail Gibson, guide: Haunted Hollywood Tours.

City of Devils is a darkened mirror shoved in front of Los Angeles; shiny, grimy, always well-lit, and covered in lipstick-scribbled desires. -Christian Ackerman, editor: My Favorite Horror Movie

Atmospheric, suspenseful, and unsettling, but also funny, well observed satire. City of Devils is dark and smart, and a hell of a lot of fun. -Jordan Essoe, actor: Bedeviled
