Rock Out with ‘Teenage Ghost Punk’ on Digital HD and VOD

Published

on

Teenage Ghost Punk looks completely ridiculous, I’m not going to deny that. But it also has a bit of a Disney Channel Original Movie vibe to it. I haven’t seen a DCOM since the late 90’s, early 2000’s, but I loved them growing up. If Teenage Ghost Punk manages to capture half the charm and all those cheesiest of those films, then there could be some decent family-friendly horror here.

The film, from writer/director Mike Cramer, is now available on all your favorite streaming services including iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox, FlixFling, DirecTV, Comcast, FiOS, AT&T and more. Plus you can order a MOD DVD from Amazon.

Synopsis:
Life changes for a cheerleader named Amanda when her family moves to an old Victorian house outside Chicago. While her newly-divorced mom struggles with a new job and her eccentric little brother seems to fit in effortlessly, Amanda tries to find her way in her daunting new high school. Meanwhile, weird things happen in the new house: Knocking sounds, strange guitar riffs in the rain, and unexplained messes. A quirky medium and a bumbling paranormal investigation team search for answers but are scared away an unseen force.

Amanda discovers that her house is haunted by Brian, the teenage punk rock ghost who has been jamming on her roof during rainstorms for thirty years. He enjoys spirited poker nights with a local quintet of teen ghosts from different eras. Amanda and Brian forge an unlikely friendship and feelings deepen, but tension arises when Amanda asks him to the homecoming dance. When uninvited guests arrive at Amanda’s Halloween party, paranormal investigators clash with Chicago’s most badass spirit, and the neighborhood’s past collides with its present. How will Amanda solve her future?
