The film provides further evidence that living in a smart house may not be such a smart idea.
The official poster (by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative) and a new photo (see it below) have been released for HOME BODIES, which has its world premiere tonight at Montreal’s 30th Fantasia International Film Festival. Directed by Casey Walker (A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE) from a script by Adrian Murray and Marcus Sullivan, it stars Emma Ho, Ian Ho and Ess Hödlmoser. The synopsis: “In HOME BODIES, Red [Emma Ho] and Blue [Ian Ho], twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal [Hödlmoser], an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” says Walker, who screened A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE at the festival in 2012. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share HOME BODIES on such a special anniversary of the festival.”
