“There is saying: ‘when it rains in LA, disaster follows…'” Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror film titled When It Rains in L.A., from filmmaker David M. Parks. Not to be confused with any other film that is about the rare time when it rains in Los Angeles. The horror film follows the story of an Eastern European girl who escapes the horror of losing her sugar daddy boyfriend in her own country. She travels to Los Angeles for a vacation with friends, where she faces the reckoning of the trauma she left behind… and the rain she unearthed coming there. This sounds like a drama about trauma but it’s actually a slasher horror film about a masked murderer coming after her. Huh? Why? Is he seeking vengeance because she escaped from this sugar daddy? This is all so weird. When It Rains in LA stars Monroe Cline, Leslie Stratton, Mike Ferguson, Eric Roberts, Felix Merback, Natasha Stricklin, and LeeAnne Bauer. The funniest part about this is how fake the rain looks and yet it’s needed for so many scenes in the film. Ha.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for David M. Parks’ film When It Rains in L.A., direct from YouTube:
It rarely rains in LA, but when it does, strange things happen… Sasha (Monroe Cline), a beautiful young Eastern European woman, arrives in Los Angeles seeking refuge and a fresh start after the sudden death of her elderly boyfriend (Eric Roberts). Leaving behind the life she knew, she reconnects with old friends in LA, hoping to escape the haunting memories of her past. But as the rain begins to fall, strange & unsettling events unfold, leaving Sasha to confront the dark and mysterious forces surrounding her. An enigmatic woman emerges from the shadows, pushing Sasha to reckon with a past she’s tried to bury—and forcing her to face the chilling truths she has long denied. When It Rains in LA is directed by the cinematographer / filmmaker David M. Parks, director of Static Codes, Deadly Desire, Heart for the Holidays, Porterville, and Bitches Giving Stitches previously. The screenplay is written by John Sillup. Gravitas will debut When it Rains in LA in select US theaters + on VOD starting on January 3rd, 2025 coming soon. Anyone into it?
