Written, directed and produced by newcomer Luke Genton, The Bone Box tells the story of a grave robber who comes to believe that he’s being haunted by those he stole from.
The film stars Michelle Krusiec (The Invitation), Maria Olsen (Starry Eyes), and newcomer Gareth Koorzen. Rounding out the cast is Jamie Bernadette (I Spit On Your Grave), Aaron Schwartz (Guardians of the Galaxy), David Chokachi (Baywatch, Witchblade), and Tess Bellomo (Liked).
Depressed and reeling from the recent death of his wife, Tom (Koorzen) has built up quite a gambling debt. He goes to stay with his wealthy Aunt Florence (Olsen) in hopes that she will write him into her will. When a nasty creditor makes it clear that Tom is out of time, he devises a plan with Elodie (Krusiec), the undertaker’s daughter, to rob the graves of the rich townspeople buried in the cemetery across the road. After plundering the graves, Tom begins hearing and seeing strange things that seem to coincide with the deaths of the people he robbed. Even more disconcerting… he appears to be the only one sensing the occurrences. One question lingers: Is Tom’s conscience playing a trick on him… or is he really being haunted by those he stole from?
Cynthia Bravo (Hide in the Light), will co-produce alongside executive producer Luana Figueroa (Hardcore Pawn), with Gonzalo Digenio as cinematographer.
Principal photography began on April 10th in Los Angeles.
