The Dead Matter is a horror movie originally made by Edward Douglas of Midnight Syndicate in 1995. But at that time, it was filmed with a few friends, one camera, and $2000. Fast forward twelve years, and while Syndicate were writing the soundtrack for Robert Kurtzman's The Rage, Douglas proposed the script for the movie to Kurtzman. Soon, an all new Dead Matter was coming to life. One important detail - the title, while it is referring to 'matter that is dead', is also a statement - those who are dead matter. And in this movie, they definitely do.
