A family gets hacked out of their life savings and decides to take matters into their own hands. That’s the setup for “Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma,” a new horror comedy starring Chandler Riggs as Florida’s most wanted cybercriminal.

The film is based on what actually happened to director Shane Brady and producer Emily Zercher. When the Rumble family loses everything to a hacker known as “The Chameleon,” the bank can’t help and the cops are useless. So they plot their own takedown.

“I make films to turn pain, chaos, and frustration into something communal, funny, and wildly entertaining,” Brady said.

Riggs, best known for “The Walking Dead,” plays the elusive hacker. Fellow TWD alum Katelyn Nacon also stars, along with Richard Riehle (“Office Space”) and, oddly enough, NHL legend Phil Esposito.

The cast went all in. Owen Atlas got to showcase MMA skills in a fight scene with Riggs. “He was such a good sport about the whole thing,” Atlas said.

Scatena & Rosner Films is handling the North American release. Limited theatrical run hits this May, with VOD following June 2.

The film already won Best Comedy at Dunedin International Film Festival and Best Focus on Florida Feature at Gasparilla. For indie filmmakers turning personal disasters into dark comedies, this one’s proof that revenge really can be art.
