The last time I wrote about Jon Knautz’s THE SHRINE, I was hoping to hear soon who would be joining Trevor Mattews (JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER) in the cast. Well, today I finally got my answer. A full cast list is now up! Let’s see who we’ve got:
There’s Aaron Ashmore (who played Jimmy Olsen on SMALLVILLE and is also the twin brother of THE RUINS’ Shawn Ashmore), the gorgeous Cindy Sampson (right, who’s been on SUPERNATURAL and REAPER), Debra McCabe, Connor Stanhope, Monica Bugajski, and Ben Lewis. It’s nice to see this flick moving forward because I believe that Knautz is one talented guy (as well as Matthews who co-scripted SHRINE). Check out the plot once more:
After a young American backpacker goes missing in Europe, a group of journalists link his disappearance to a remote Polish village called Alvaina. Upon further investigation, the journalists discover that Alvaina has a history of bizarre cult activity revolving around human sacrifice. Hellbent on revealing the truth, they travel to the small village to uncover the story first hand. But after the discovery of an ancient stone statue hidden within the town, they quickly find themselves pursued by a mysterious and vengeful group of locals. Forced into the gruesome reality of true survival horror, the journalists soon realize that Alvaina hides a much darker secret than they could ever imagine.
Principle photography is already set to begin on August 10th, so we should be seeing and hearing more about THE SHRINE soon.
