Scatena & Rosner Films is proud to announce the North American release of the gothic horror thriller VOICE OF SHADOWS, the debut feature film from director Nicholas Bain. The film was acquired in a deal negotiated by Bain and Gato Scatena, Managing Director of Scatena & Rosner Films. Infused with nods to cinema classics The Exorcist, Paranormal Activity, and The House of Sand and Fog, the film stars Guillermo Blanco (The Queen of Flow) and Corrinne Mica (Always, Lola) as a couple caught in the clutches of a mysterious cult and a supernatural evil entity, and Bee Vang (Gran Torino) as a young priest trying to save them all before it's too late.
VOICE OF SHADOWS will arrive September 17 on digital and streaming platforms, including iTunes/Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Fandango at Home, Vimeo, and local cable & satellite providers.
Voice of Shadows held its World Premiere at the Twin Cities Film Festival, and went on to hold a successful festival run winning multiple awards, including Best Feature Film at Romford Horror Festival, Latitude Film Awards, and Bestlov Festival. The film also won Best Visual Effects at Los Angeles Crime and Horror Festival, and had a successful screening at Lit Scares Festival.
Starring Guillermo Blanco (The Queen of Flow), Corrinne Mica (Always, Lola) and Bee Vang (Gran Torino), VOICE OF SHADOWS follows Gabriel, a devout Catholic, who travels with his girlfriend Emma to the country where she stands to inherit a large estate.
I was invited to watch an early screener of Voice Of Shadows.
The opening scene sets the tone for this gothic and haunting film. Gabriel, a young man who has come to the States from South America with his sister Celeste, confesses his traumatic past and the reason he has raised his sister on his own.
Later, Gabriel and his girlfriend Emma visit her aunt, a strange and obnoxious woman who treats Gabriel like a servant. I thought at first she was racist because of his nationality although she seemed to dote on his sister.
When Emma inherits her aunt's house there is a stipulation that Gabriel not be allowed to live in it. However, he and his sister both end up staying there, and creepy happenings ensue.
As a fan of religious horror, I enjoyed this movie. If there was anything I was not especially fond of, it was how very dark it was. I do not mean the tone or subject matter. I mean literally turn on a light sometimes!
Even in bright daylight with sun streaming in the windows, light never seemed to reach the characters. Maybe that was done purposely, as some sort of symbolism but for me a few dark scenes go a long way.
Special effects were well done and the gradual build of tension as the house began to influence the occupants gave me the creeps!
I gave this film an 8 out of 10 on IMDB
