SiREN 2016

V/H/S breakout star Hannah Fierman (read our interview) has returned to her “Amateur Night” role in SiREN, our non-found-footage spinoff now on VOD, Digital HD and DVD (and in Redbox) through Chiller Films.

Directed by Dance of the Dead, The Other Side and VHS: Viral‘s Gregg Bishop (interview), SiREN follows Jonah (Chase Williamson; The Guest, John Dies at the End, Beyond the Gates), an apprehensive groom-to-be whose bachelor party turns into a nightmare when he frees a seemingly innocent victimized girl (Fierman) locked up in a supernatural sex club.

We’re really proud of the Nightbreed vibe in SiREN, which stars Chase Williamson (The Guest, John Dies at the End, Beyond the Gates),  Justin Welborn (The Final Destination, The Signal, Dance of the Dead), Michael Aaron Milligan (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Hayes Mercure (Mascots), and Randy McDowell (Elvis).

Based on a short by David Bruckner, the feature was written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. SiREN is executive produced by V/H/S director David Bruckner.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
