Exclusive clip: The kitchen runs red in the “HOUSE OF SHADOWS”

The butcher knives are broken out in our excerpt from the fright film that releases next week.

Trinity Creative Partnership brings HOUSE OF SHADOWS to VOD, digital platforms and DVD October 20. Nicholas Winter wrote and directed, and the cast is headed by Elena Delia, Luke Bailey, Harriet Madeley, Yvonne Mai and Sam Newman. The synopsis: “Sarah [Delia] and her boyfriend Jared [Bailey] travel to an isolated house in the Spanish countryside, led there by Sarah’s discovery of a family secret following the death of her mother. Upon arrival they meet the mysterious Anna Sofia [Madeley], who explains her connection to the house and shows the couple around before taking her leave. Before long, strange things begin to occur, and Sarah is thrown into emotional turmoil as elements of the past inexplicably resurface. As she begins to realize that her mother had more dark secrets than she could ever imagine, Sarah must face her fears and unravel the mystery of a dark force occupying the house before it destroys her soul.”
