The Dead Call When It Rings
There’s nothing spookier I can think of than being on the receiving end of a phone call from someone you’re sure is deceased, and truth be told, nothing good can come from such an occurrence. Sure does make spooky film fodder though!
Variety is reporting that Sally Kirkland and Mel Novak have joined the cast of independent thriller When It Rings opposite newcomer Gonzalo Martin.
Shooting has started in Los Angeles. First-time feature directors Ty Haisten and David Rivers are directing from their own script. Sophia Monti, Mann Alfonso, and Amy Ellenberger co-star. Producers are Tyrone Tann of Stauros Entertainment, Ellecina Eck, Haisten, and Rivers.
Martin portrays a young man returning to his childhood home to get it ready for sale and uncovering an old toy phone he once used to “talk” to his dead sister, who drowned a decade ago in the backyard and made his mother too unstable to raise him. After the phone begins ringing, he must decide whether to answer it or get rid of the only connection to his dead sister. Kirkland stars as a neighbor-turned-caretaker for the unstable mother, and Novak portrays the unwitting buyer of the home.
More as it comes.
