Fatal Rejuvenation is a new satire horror film directed by Ron Millkie and written/produced by Philip Pitta. Created as a tribute to B-movies of the 1950's, this stars Catherine Pearl, Philip Pitta, Joe Mack Gallina, Stephanie Londono and Nicholas M. Garofolo (Sweet Revenge). The trailer certainly brings a vibe the film is going for.
