Anti-H announces "Strife"

Projected for release in 2015, Strife is a disturbing cat-and-mouse psychological thriller about a man, Trevor Stiles, who is terrorized by his brother - Andy Stiles. Andy has been released from incarceration after 15 years for killing their mother and feels that it is Trevor who is responsible for his incarceration. 

After his release, Andy seeks out his brother Trevor to perhaps kill him - only to discover that Trevor is a closeted homosexual whom is married to a beautiful wife named Celena and has a 5 year-old son. However, Trevor is cheating on his wife Celena and is embezzling money from his workplace. Upon discovering this, Andy’s plans change. He instead blackmails Trevor and pulls him into a violent and disturbing world of psychological warfare and intimidation. Trevor is so fearful of Andy and his threats and the fear of losing his son, Celena, and his job, that he has no choice but to play his games – no matter how berserk or deranged.

Christoph Kulling is to produce, Rod Webber is to direct, and Danny Trejo is attached.
