The award-winning short filmmaker has her feature debut coming to haunt you.
HOUSE OF ASHES is coming to digital platforms October 30 following a fest run including the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, FrightFest Glasgow and Etheria. Directed by Izzy Lee, and written and produced by Lee and Steve Johanson, it stars Fayna Sanchez, Vincent Stalba, Lee Boxleitner, Mason Conrad and Laura Dromerick, with cameos by horror filmmakers Joe Lynch and Mick Garris. The synopsis: “Still reeling from a miscarriage, Mia [Sanchez] grieves her husband Adam, found dead at the veterinary clinic they owned. She’s been acquitted of Adam’s death, but is under public scrutiny and must serve a house arrest sentence due to living in a state where miscarriage carries heavy punishment. Enter Marc [Stalba], an old friend who loves and protects Mia. Not long after he moves in, the new couple endures challenges: things go missing and they’re attacked by an unseen foe. Mia is sure that the culprit is a supernatural entity, but Marc’s convinced that humans are the problem. A security expert by trade, he installs a home surveillance system to help keep them safe–but soon finds out that this is an issue he can’t fix. Under all these pressures, Mia must call on her buried strength to move on with her life–or risk death herself.”
