Cast

Production

Armstrong describes Sheborg Massacre as a neo-pulp film. "Neo-pulp lovingly embraces the most extreme, cliche, and supercilious elements of pop culture and pulp literature and puts them in a human context. SHEBORG MASSACRE itself is a 50s teen rebel flick set in a B grade sci-fi world from the early 80s, with horror style violence. It’s not a spoof, it’s not horror, it’s not action, it’s not sci-fi, it’s not drama. It’s all of these things. It’s neo-pulp." [1]

Sheborg Massacre was produced by Melbourne-based production company Strongman Pictures Entertainment, and written, directed and edited by Daniel Armstrong. Armstrong's previous films include the international cult hit MurderDrome - the world's first roller derby horror movie, which hit a chord with alternative cinema fans worldwide, and the wrestle-ploitation film From Parts Unknown: Fight Like A Girl.

History

With an estimated budget of $20,000 [4] the cast and crew completed the project over the space of 33 weekends and an unknown number of evening shoots. [2]
