After cutting his teeth under legendary horror writer Clive Barker, Anthony DeBlasi struck out on his own looking to become a director while developing his own style behind the camera. 

DeBlasi eventually made his directorial debut with the film “Dread,” which was based on a short story of the same name by Barker. It wasn’t until a few years later that DeBlasi came up with an idea about a self-contained horror film centered around a police dispatcher in a small town, who was all alone and trapped in the station. 

From there, DeBlasi and co-writer Scott Polley fleshed out the story that would eventually become a feature film with shooting taking place in Florida. 

The film centers around a rookie police officer ordered to watch over a station that’s about to close permanently and it doesn’t take her long to understand why no one wanted to be alone in this building. 

In the first episode of a two-part special, Rewind of the Living Dead will lock the doors and keep the phone lines open as we look back at the 2014 film “Last Shift”…
