I think the filmmakers are trying to eradicate all evidence of this movie's existence from the internet. Here's why:
I have an aspiring actor friend who used to live in western Maryland (where this film was shot) and had a number of extra and supporting roles in various films and TV shows shot across the northeast US. His position allows him to hear about all these Z-grade indie films made by local filmmakers that almost anybody else would have never heard of. One day, he showed me a trailer for Radioactive Flesh Eating Foliage, a no-budget horror movie filmed in the mountains of western Maryland about trees attacking people. The trailer looked hilarious, with scenes that were supposed to be girls being attacked by trees when clearly it was obviously someone off camera poking them with sticks.
Out of morbid curiosity, I thought I'd give it a try (as I do with many bad movies), but this movie is impossible to find. I've scowered the internet and I haven't found any place where a DVD can be purchased or where it can be streamed. Even torrents and illegal downloading sites that claim to have it don't actually have it. Even the trailers were deleted from YouTube. It's like this movie was erased from the internet.
Were the filmmakers ashamed or embarrassed of the final product? I resorted to contacting one of the actresses on their professional website (since they were selling autographed posters for this movie, the only items related to this movie for sale anywhere). She politely responded that she ran out of convention copies and had no idea where I could find more. My only shot at ever watching it would be if a used DVD popped up on eBay someday.
If any of the filmmakers happen to be reading this, please make this movie available SOMEWHERE, even if it's something as simple as selling copies on eBay. I know you sold copies at conventions, so why stop trying to sell it?
