House on Rodeo Gulch Now on VOD; New Trailer, Stills, and More
Now available on VOD, William Scherer’s House on Rodeo Gulch has been likened to a Hitchcockian thriller so of course we wanted to make sure you have it on your radar.
Chanel Ryan headlines a powerful ensemble in this indie gem, which was inspired by real life events; and we have a look at the film’s trailer, artwork, and a few stills.
From the Press Release:
Santa Cruz, the host of “all the damn vampires,” is now home to the evil, frightening James Christianson. Malevolence loves company…
Chanel Ryan (Bad Kids Go to Hell) and Barry Ratcliffe (Ted 2) star in writer/director William Scherer’s House on Rodeo Gulch, now available on VOD and arriving on DVD later this year. Megan Jay Simrell, Jaye Wolfe, Adrian Torres, Mitch Costanza, Brian Spencer, and Chen Dubrin co-star.
Scherer explains, “House on Rodeo Gulch was created from a true story. While in my late twenties, I bought a small three-unit apartment building that had one of the units vacant. I put in a nice new cream-colored carpet in the living room and rented it out to a young couple. A week later I visited them to find out the boyfriend had driven his Harley-Davidson motorcycle into the living room and had taken the engine apart as oil, parts, and dirt were all over my new carpet. Furious, I had no grounds to have them arrested, only give them a ’30-day notice to leave.’ After 30 days they still hadn’t left and thus became the ‘tenants from hell.’ I thought afterwards, ‘If only I had put something in the walls/ceilings that would have scared them into leaving on their own.'”
With regard to his characters and influences, he adds, “I love strong women who find their strength through adversity. I also love Alfred Hitchcock and psychological thrillers that require the audience to think. Throw in a bit of humor, and you have House on Rodeo Gulch.”
Synopsis:
Uprooted from her childhood home in Texas by her father’s new job, seventeen-year-old Shani Peterson (Megan Jay Simrell) moves to California with her new stepmom, Denise (Chanel Ryan). Their new home, located deep in the redwoods of Central California, is a dream come true… until it’s not. With an over-friendly reverend and his alcoholic assistant as their only neighbors, Shani and Denise must unearth the haunting mysteries of the house and its history before they lose their home… or their lives.
