Indie horror mystery Diane releases first chilling trailer
Indie filmmaker Michael Mongillo (Being Michael Madsen, The Wind) has just wrapped production on the supernatural thriller Diane, a tale of all-consuming obsession and the drastic consequences that follow. The film tells the tale of a war veteran (Jason Alan Smith of Mike Flanagan’s Before I Wake) haunted by a woman (Carlee Avers, Veronica Mars), whose body he finds in his backyard. Like another recent “haunted body” thriller, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Diane mixes stark supernatural horror and moody noir aesthetics in one chilling package.
Synopsis: Afghanistan War veteran Steve’s lasting injuries and regrets plunge him into a daily soulless routine until the body of a beautiful singer, Diane, is discovered in his backyard. Steve takes a photo of her corpse with his cell phone before reporting the murder and he becomes obsessed with the dead woman’s image. Now a prime suspect, Steve is scrutinized by the police, hassled by Diane’s widower, and attacked by self-righteous neighbors. Before long, the malevolent ghost of Diane weaves a dark spell in Steve’s psyche that leads to strange and startling revelations.
