IFC has picked up North American rights to Return to House on Haunted Hill and Mirrors 2‘s Victor Garcia’s genre title Gallows Hill following a strong buyer response at a recent Los Angeles screening.
Rich D’Ovidio, whose credits include The Call and Thir13en Ghosts, wrote the screenplay “about a widower who takes his children on a trip to their mother’s Colombian hometown. En route, the family are involved in an accident and take refuge in a secluded inn, where they free a girl locked in a basement and set in motion a terrifying sequence of events.“
The film screens in the market tomorrow (February 8th) and stars Peter Facinelli, the UK’s Sophia Myles, Nathalia Ramos and Colombian model and actress Carolina Guerra, part of a large Colombian contingency.
Gallows Hill was financed entirely within Colombia by television network RCN¹s affiliate Five 7 Media, who produced with A Bigger Boat and Launchpad Productions. Peter Block, David Higgins and Andrea Chung produced.
