Get ready for some schoolhouse shock later this month.
DeskPop Entertainment has announced a May 21 VOD and DVD release date for HOUSE OF SCREAMING GLASS, from director David Williams. Scripted by Williams, Costanza Bongiorni and Tom Jolliffe, it stars Lani Call. “The synopsis: Elizabeth Cadosia [Call] has lived a life of isolation under the shadow of her mentally fractured mother. On the day her mother dies, Elizabeth receives an unexpected inheritance: a timeworn schoolhouse from her grandmother–whom she has never met. Within the schoolhouse, Elizabeth finds herself entwined in a tapestry of unsettling visions and harrowing nightmares. As the veil between past and present thins, Elizabeth embarks on a haunting journey through her lineage, unraveling the enigma of her grandmother’s identity as a witch. The siren call of forbidden knowledge beckons, and soon Elizabeth is ensnared by the seductive allure of black magic rituals once whispered through time. A chilling metamorphosis grips her, ensnaring both body and mind, as she succumbs to the sinister forces that have long awaited their vessel.
“In her descent into darkness, Elizabeth’s very essence melds with the schoolhouse, a sanctuary now transmuted into a realm of unspeakable horrors. The ethereal boundaries between human and spectral blur, and Elizabeth’s fate becomes inextricably intertwined with the malevolent energies that devoured her. She becomes an enduring specter, eternally bound to the schoolhouse’s accursed legacy, a manifestation of the very black magic that consumed her.”
