Various News: Vito LoGrasso in New Horror Movie, Update on September 30th Future Stars of Wrestling Event

– Former WWE & WCW wrestler Vito LoGrasso has a role in The Church, which releases in theaters on October 5th. The movie is written and directed by first-time filmmaker Dom Frank. The horror film was shot on location at Philadelphia’s historic First Corinthian Baptist Church (founded in 1930), where Frank’s family has been part of the congregation for more than 60 years.

In this twisting, heart-pounding thriller, the minister of a once vibrant, landmark Baptist church, now struggling to survive, is the sole hold-out in a decaying Philadelphia neighborhood earmarked for gentrification. But ultimately, the preacher’s steely resolve to preserve his family’s evangelical legacy in the community and dwindling congregation dissolves under relentless pressure from his status-seeking wife and greedy church leaders–Lured by cash bribes and promises from unscrupulous developers to establish a flashy “mega-ministry” elsewhere. Soon, the spirits of congregational members deeply wronged of centuries past – stirred from the disquiet of their graves by the remorseless trespasses of another generation – begin to make their displeasure known. As the sinners, abruptly and inexplicably bound within the confines of the sanctuary, begin to fall prey to unseen and ominous forces, they must all re-examine their choices and bow to the will of the covenant … only to reveal the righteous among them.
