Watch Now: Demonic Short The Morning Star Preserves Company
After viewing the trailer below, I think the first thing you’ll say is, “WTF did I just watch?” It’s a standalone proof of concept trailer for The Morning Star Preserves Company (official website) so it works as both a trailer and a mini-film in its own right.
If you ever wondered about the process by which our souls are judged, then look no further.
It comes from filmmaker Kev Harte via his company Abandonhope Films, which specializes in producing top-quality horror movies.
Synopsis:
THE MORNING STAR PRESERVES COMPANY is a short horror/fantasy film revolving around the daily activities of what on the outside appears to be a normal factory. The company is actually revealed to be the realm of Hell, and it is here we will discover that human souls are chosen daily to be gathered and given to Lucifer to satiate his desire to take over the Earth, a rule set out as per “The Heaven Agreement.” Contained in jam jars picked out by a member of staff each day are tarot type cards representing the Lords of Hell. A demon is assigned through these cards and sent out into the human world to bring back souls who must perish at the demons’ hands so they can take them back to the factory for “processing.”
With a visual style reminiscent of Guillermo del Toro’s work via Sam Raimi with a touch of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, this will be Abandonhope Film’s most ambitious project to date.
