Interesting facts

Side Sho is a 2007 horror film directed by Michael D'Anna. The film was shot in and around Savannah, Georgia, and won the awards for Best Feature Film and Best Original Score at the 2007 Terror Film Festival.

Production

Side Sho was inspired by writer Frank Fox's experiences visiting odd roadside attractions and carny exhibits as a child. Director Michael D'Anna took inspiration from classic horror films of the 1970s, such as Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive (1977), Wes Craven's original The Hills Have Eyes (1977), and the southern gothic films of S. F. Brownrigg.

The low budget production was fraught with problems, including the sudden loss of scheduled filming locations, special effects that refused to work properly, equipment malfunctions, and a rushed shooting schedule. Nevertheless, the film was completed on time and budget, in time for its July, 2007 premiere at the historic Belcourt Theater in Nashville, Tennessee.

It was released on DVD by Lionsgate in July 2008 with an audio commentary featuring the director and star, a making-of featurette, a blooper reel, and many other extras.

Side Sho was released without an MPAA rating.
