The Domicile: Indie chiller from Jared Cohn hits DVD and VOD in August
Director Jared Cohn is on fire! Not literally. We’d be far less enthusiastic if he were. But the prolific filmmaker (Devil’s Domain) seems to make a movie-a-month and the ones that we’ve seen are filled with style and energy, decent old-fashioned horror movie fare done on a budget and with innovation. Cohn’s latest film is The Domicile, produced by Gabriel Campisi (The Horde) and will release on DVD and VOD next month.
The Domicile Synopsis: Russel Brody, a one-time successful playwright, works diligently on a follow-up play that could land him back in the spotlight he so early craves. With a baby on the way, however, and a strained marriage, stress and frustration take center stage. When his wife accidentally stumbles down the stairs and dies from her injuries, Brody’s mental state goes from bad to one of utter despair. In a bid to help his friend regain his sanity, Brody’s co-writer David Stanley suggests he revisits Lucy, his former mistress. The ghost of Brody’s dead wife awakens to the sordid details of his unfaithfulness, enraging her supernatural spirit to haunt him in every horrifying way imaginable. At first, Brody thinks he’s hallucinating and hearing things in his head, the result of his state of mind and alcohol. But as things intensify, his grip on sanity quickly slips away, and he starts to go mad. Appearing in every shadow, and provoking him relentlessly, the ghost cranks up her onslaught, making his life a living hell. Brody reaches his breaking point when the ghost possesses his former mistress, and he’s forced to confront the scorned entity — resulting in a climax of both psychological and physical terror.
The Domicile stars Steve Richard Harris (Evil Nanny), Demetrius Stear (Death Pool), Katherine Flannery (Zombie Pizza) and Sara Malakul Lane (King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table). The film is from MTI Home Video and hits DVD and VOD August 22. Have a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think!
