“Sebastian,” a gripping horror film spiced with crime and mystery, is now streaming on Tubi. The film stars an impressive ensemble, including horror icon Jamie Bernadette (known for “I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu”), Darius McCrary (“Family Matters”), Torrei Hart (“Hollywould”), and Luca Della Valle (“Distant Vision”).
Supporting actors feature Clifton Powell (“Ray”), Cocoa Brown (“9-1-1”), Jermaine Hopkins (“Lean on Me”), Jayson Warner Smith (“The Walking Dead”), Tracey Graves (“Super Turnt”), Michael Emery (“Station 19”), and Jermel Howard (“Luke Cage”). The visionary behind this enthralling piece is Mann Robinson (“Super Turnt”), who takes up both the roles of the writer and director.
In an impressive feat, “Sebastian” has already scaled Tubi’s most-watched lists. The film went viral on social media on its release day, earning praises from opinion leaders in the film industry. Jan O’Connell, a renowned film producer of “I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu,” likened the film to the 1995 classic “Se7en” and lauded the cast and director Robinson in a tweet.
Darius McCrary, a producer and actor in the film, expressed his pride, stating, “Working alongside my partner Torrei Hart and the outstanding cast she and Mann assembled was an honor. ‘Sebastian’ marks a significant leap for independent filmmaker Mann and for all his ‘Mankind.’”
Robinson expressed his gratitude for working with such a talented crew, describing the experience as akin to working with seven acting instructors. Jamie Bernadette, who plays the lead protagonist ‘Irene’, was all praise for the script and the team. She shared, “Once I read the brilliant script by Mann Robinson and watched his past directing work, accepting the role of ‘Irene’ was a no-brainer. Coupled with a robust cast of seasoned actors and a formidable production team, we struck gold. They made my job seamless.”
The plot of “Sebastian” unfolds around the intriguing character of Sebastian (played by Luca Della Valle), a reincarnated Christian martyr born every 60 years. Sebastian embarks on a relentless pursuit to win the affection of Irene (played by Jamie Bernadette), mercilessly eliminating anyone who dares to obstruct his path.
