The supernatural chiller has wrapped, and is offering lots of rewards to help see it to completion.

BEHOLD! is the new film from writer/director Mehran C. Torgoley and writer/star Llana Barron, following 2020’s CURSE OF AURORE. Bryan Scamman and Minna Brighton also star, with Kevin Pardo, Brighton, Torgoley and Barron producing. The synopsis: “Rebecca [Barron] and her husband, Reverend Peter [Scamman], have been separated for months following a tragic event. Alone in their stately home, Rebecca has become a shell of her former self. She suffers from severe depression, drinks too much, and can’t seem to get her life together. She believes fixing the marriage is the solution. Everything changes when Peter shows up with divorce papers, setting off an emotional explosion that gets interrupted by the appearance of a foreboding, otherworldly presence. Disturbing secrets and lies from the past are brought to light as Rebecca and Peter attempt to confront the mysterious presence from beyond.”

The filmmakers have launched an Indiegogo campaign to obtain finishing funds for audio, visual effects and color grading, offering perks ranging from T-shirts, autographed posters and other merch to VIP tickets to the BEHOLD! screening and wrap party.
