Hide-A-Key Wants to Make You Afraid of Your Own House
Do you have one of those fake rocks with a spare house key tucked inside? Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone discovered that rock and replaced your key with a flash drive containing lots of creepy stuff? If so, Kirk White’s horror flick Hide-A-Key should give you plenty of nightmares and make you second guess those odd noises you hear in the middle of the night.
To sweeten the deal, White’s project was reportedly written by the “sickest minds on the dark web.” That’s a pretty bold statement, and it’s certainly piqued my interest in the project. Here’s the thing: White needs a little help generating some much-needed cash for the movie, so he set up an official Indiegogo campaign with the hope of funding this production.
Here’s how White describes the plot:
A dude comes home from work. It’s late…raining. He’s in a terrible mood. He rushes to get the groceries out and locks his keys in the car. He’s f***ed. His wife and the kids are at her parents’. What to do? What to do? SALVATION…he remembers that he’d bought one of those little hide-a-key thingy that looks like a rock and you stick your key in it and put it in the garden or something for just such an emergency. So he looks for the faux rock—not an easy thing to do in the middle of the night with no flashlight. He finds it. Sighs of relief. He opens the rock to find…
No key.
In its place, a small flash drive.
He breaks a window. Gets in his house. Fires up the computer and inserts the drive.
There are a series of media files. As he plays each one, to his horror, he realizes that they are of him and his family, and they are shot inside his house (using the hide-a-key for access one would presume) by an unknown intruder. Some are during the day, some are at night, some while they are sleeping. As the video clips progress, he realizes that the intruder has begun to ACTIVELY participate in his life.
As a life-long horror fan, Kirk White seems to understand what terrifies people the most. If you’d like to know more about Hide-A-Key, check out the teaser trailer below.
