Regular site scooper Avery sent us a heads up towards the Australian horror flick THE GHOSTS today and I’m sure glad he did–this flick looks pretty awesome!
Not only were we hooked up with a few teaser posters but we have the teaser trailer for you to check out below. Think you’ve seen it all with the shaky cam action the likes of THE BLAIRWITCH PROJECT? Think again! From what I can tell thus far, THE GHOSTS is looking to deliver even more scares when it comes to recovered ‘footage’ depicting haunted happenings.
Written and directed by Mathew J. Wilkinson, THE GHOSTS goes a bit like this: A family vacation in the Australian outback turns horribly wrong when the family is taken hostage by a pair of sinister outlaws inside an abandoned hotel. The group stumble upon a harrowing discovery – the hotel is alive with the spirits of the damned searching for their own escape. Isolated and cut off from the world the innocent must now join forces with the criminals in order to survive the night. Filled with old-school special effects, The Ghosts crosses Schlock Horror with the American Western to create an all-new experience to the Australian horror film.
So it’s not just a haunted house but a sicko outlaw movie as well (I’m smellin’ some THE DEVIL’S REJECTS vibes going on here). Awesome.
From the teaser posters to the teaser trailer, this flick looks like a barrel of fun and then some–let’s hope the final delivery is executed with enough creepiness to make it worth our while. To check out more on this flick, hit up the film’s OFFICIAL MYSPACE PAGE, and enjoy the teaser below!
