These characters are trapped between a rock and a horror place.

THE SOUND is coming to theaters and VOD platforms June 27 from Blue Harbor Entertainment. Brendan Devane (THE CANYONLANDS) wrote, produced and directed the film, which stars Marc Hills, Rachel Finninger, Nicholas Baroudi, Jocelyn Hudon, William Fichtner (DRIVE ANGRY), Christina Kirkman, Jolene Kay, David Clennon (THE THING), Hazel Findlay, Brette Harrington, Adrian Ballinger and Alex Honnold, with a score by The Smashing Pumpkins’ James Iha. The synopsis: “A world-class group of climbers is granted access to the Forbidden Wall, a mysterious rock wall previously closed for decades. Among the climbers is Sean [Hills], whose grandfather made an ill-fated attempt 63 years earlier. During the group’s ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival hundreds of feet above the ground.”
