‘Broken Ghost’ Trailer Can’t Run From the Past
At long last, Richard Gray‘s Broken Ghost will be opening on VOD platforms February 12, 2019, Bloody Disgusting learned.
The film, which now has an official trailer, focuses on a family desperate to leave behind their past secrets for a fresh start in a small town in Montana.
“Desperate for a new life, Imogen (Autry Hayden-Wilson) and her family move to Montana in an attempt to escape a secretive past from the big city. Eager to make a new life for herself, Imogen must overcome new tormentors, old secrets, and a strange presence in the attic. In one girl’s fight to rise up, this family eventually discovers that the ghosts of their pasts are not the only ones they have to deal with.”
“Shot in and around the city of Livingston on the Yellowstone River – in the same neighborhood as classics such as The Horse Whisperer and A River Runs Through It – Broken Ghost makes full use of the million-dollar scenery to boost its tiny $600,000 budget,” one festival wrote during its run last year.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
