Pre-dates the hit film
With the success of Paranormal Activity, you can expect to hear about another dozen or so similar projects. Just this morning, we did a news post on a UK project titled The Possession of David O’Reilly, which bares a resemblance to Oren Peli’s sleeper hit.
Ever heard of In Memorium? The low-budget indie pic starring Erik McDowell, Johanna Watts, Levi Powell and Mary Portser dates back to 2005, a few years before Paranormal Activity.
Written and directed by Amanda Gusack, this cinéma vérité film follows Dennis Wade, a young film student diagnosed with terminal cancer who decides to document his illness only to capture something else on tape. Have a peek at the teaser trailer below.
Gusack recently directed The Betrayed starring Melissa George and Oded Fehr for MGM. Perhaps now her first feature might find wide distribution? You can check out 3 clips via the You Tube page for the flick here. For more info on In Memorium, visit the official site here.
