From Spotlight Pictures comes a new supernatural thriller called THE GHOSTMAKER, written by Scott Svatos and directed by Mauro Borrelli. You down to learn what this sucker’s all about? Let’s do this…
With Aaron Dean Eisenberg and Liz Fenning (below) attached to star – THE GHOSTMAKER goes like this:
A young college student, Kyle, who works as a housecleaner for extra money, stumbles across an ancient coffin in the basement of a creepy old woman’s house. Thinking the coffin might be worth some money, Kyle takes the coffin home and discovers mechanical gears and a music box key buried under the padding. This is no ordinary coffin.
Kyle and his friends do some research and discover the coffin was built in the 15th century by the evil Wolfgang von Tristen, who was nicknamed “The Devil’s Craftsman.” Von Tristen crafted ancient torture devices and was fascinated with death and the worlds beyond. Von Tristen built this mechanical coffin, which allowed him to rise out of his mortal body and experience the sensation of death as a ghost. He called the coffin—Ghost Machine.
Kyle and his friends each take turns laying down in the coffin and experience the ghost sensation for themselves. At first, the adventures in the ghost world are fun and innocent, but ultimately the Ghost Machine brings out each person’s most dangerous impulses and desires. The friends find themselves pulled into a world of evil and they learn there is a price to pay for flirting with Death…and Death will not be cheated.
Sounds pretty fun, if derivative. Borelli also did that movie BOX OF SHADOWS we wrote about on more than one occasion. He’s also an art illustrator for the highest profile films in town. DARK SHADOWS, BATTLESHIP, CAPTAIN AMERICA, I AM NUMBER FOUR, THE WOLFMAN, etc. etc…all under his belt in the last two years or so. More of a reason to give THE GHOSTMAKER a chance when it eventually comes out.
