A necessary 'eVil'

Fresh off its award-winning premiere this month at the Coney Island Film Festival, Lion Heart Distribution has reportedly acquired North American rights to Allan Piper's horror-comedy "eVil Sublet." 
 
Per Deadline:
It follows the misadventures of a New York couple who think they have hit the jackpot when they move into a cheap apartment. They soon discover they have landed landlords quite literally from hell, who want them to pay the rent with their lives. 
The film is based on real-life mysterious events in Piper's apartment which he shares with his wife (Leigh Houston) in New York's East Village (aka "the eVil").
After more screenings on the festival circuit, "eVil Sublet," which also features Sally Struthers, will receive a commercial release later this year. Check out the trailer...

    I agree, except for the "lol;" several years ago, my roommate [who had taken occupancy in 1976] uncovered a hatchet that had been buried in the plaster behind the stove. Thinking nothing of its possible previous use as a weapon, he put it in the van with the camping tools, which were driven off the lot [Pier 41] when said van was stolen. (He had laughed it off as the previous owner wanting to "bury the hatchet.")

    My more recent roommate found an extremely old [early 20th century] iron knife with apparent bloodstains on the blade, buried under the floorboards. [cue ominous music]
