The shoot has begun in Austin, Texas.
Natasha Henstridge, who starred in three SPECIES movies as well as GHOSTS OF MARS and others, has joined the cast of Jump Rock Pictures’ HOUSE OF ABRAHAM. Lisa Belcher, who has won awards for her short films including GUEST OF HONOR and JAVELINA RUN, makes her feature directorial debut on ABRAHAM, which also stars SLAPFACE’s Lukas Hassel (who scripted) and genre veteran Lin Shaye. The synopsis: “HOUSE OF ABRAHAM tells the story of Dee [Henstridge], a desperate woman who arrives at the ‘House of Abraham’ to end her life with the help of Abraham [Hassel], who leads weekend retreats for those looking to bid a permanent farewell to the world. As the weekend progresses, it soon becomes clear Dee has a secret agenda that throws the weekend and its participants into unexpected and sinister chaos. Shaye plays Beatrice, Abraham’s trusted partner in hosting the retreats, a woman who’s also hiding her own secrets.”
