Deadly Revisions is a 2013 horror thriller that was written and directed by Gregory Blair and is his directorial debut. The film stars Bill Oberst Jr. as a horror writer and filmmaker trying to figure out what caused a gap in his memory and why.

Synopsis

When horror writer and filmmaker Grafton Torn (Bill Oberst Jr.) wakes from a coma, he's horrified to find that he can't remember the events that led to his coma and leg injury. His physician has recommended that Grafton try to recover his memories by using hypnotherapy and medication while resting at a cabin in a peaceful location. Grafton agrees to this, but he finds that he's plagued by nightmares that involves not only the characters of his own creation but also potentially real memories. Things are made worse when these nightmares begin to spill over into his waking life, making Grafton question his very sanity.

Cast

Production

Plans to film Deadly Revisions were first announced in spring 2012. Initially titled Scare Tactics, the movie was intended to enter pre-production in 2012 and release the following year. The film's title was changed soon after the initial announcement, as the director wanted a title that reflected more upon the film's subject matter and could be seen as more "fresh". Filming took place in Los Angeles.
