A real-life plantation with a dark past provides inspiration for an eerie new found footage thriller from CAVU Pictures. THE FINAL PROJECT is the debut film from Taylor Ri’chard and hits theaters beginning Feb 12th in Atlanta and Houston, March 4th in New York and Los Angeles, and then expands nationwide shortly after. We’ve got the exclusive trailer and poster for THE FINAL PROJECT for your eyes only today, so take a look below and see if this is a project you want to invest in.
The plot:
Six college students have organized the ultimate graduation project… a documentary film about one of the most notorious haunted houses in America, the Lafitte Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana. A Civil War landmark with a dark past, complete with stories of mutilated soldiers, murdered families and restless shadows roaming its abandoned corridors… no one has entered Lafitte in years- until now. Outfitted with high-tech recording equipment in order to capture every moment of their great adventure, these intrepid young filmmakers bravely venture deep into the misty backwoods of Louisiana. But on this plantation that time has forgotten, something evil still waits and watches. When darkness falls, their deepest fears come to life, as one by one they’ll learn the horrifying truth that awaits all who dare seek the secrets of the Lafitte Plantation. The dead are awake, and there are some places the living should never go.
Apparently, the film’s fictional Lafitte Plantation was inspired by Chretien Point Plantation, a popular “haunted hot spot” in North America in the many years since it ws the site of a bloody battle during the Civil War.
The film stars Amber Erwin, Teal Haddock, Arin Jones, Evan McLean, Leonardo Santaiti and Sergio Suave. Exact theatrical locations where THE FINAL PROJECT will be showing can be found HERE.
