There’s a stranger in the house in this exclusive clip from ANGUISH, a psychological thriller which marks the directorial debut of longtime producer Sonny Mallhi (THE ROOMMATE, THE STRANGERS). There’s nothing creepier than huddling in the closet while a mysterious someone – or something – roams around outside your door, am I right? I can’t be the only one this happens to regularly.

Starring Ryan Simpkins, Annika Marks, and Karina Logue, ANGUISH has the following synopsis:

A new girl in a quiet town, Tess (Ryan Simpkins) tries to manage her psychosis while adjusting to her new life with her mom (Annika Marks).  After stumbling upon the shrine of Lucy (Amberley Gridley), a hit and run victim, Tess finds herself overwhelmed by hallucinations of the dead girl and starts to question her sanity again.  When the spirit possesses Tess’s mind and soul, mother and daughter are at a loss for where to turn next for salvation: religion or medicine?  Both institutions have failed them to date but faith leads them to the house of Sarah (Karina Logue), Lucy’s mother, who has been despondent since the accident.  All together with time working against them, Sarah is desperate to believe that Lucy is still alive in Tess but neither parent wants to give up on their daughter.  Now that she understands what is happening to her, ultimately Tess must decide whether she wants to keep fighting or succumb to her affliction.

ANGUISH hits VOD and limited theaters on December 18th.
