Spy on Your Neighbors in Clip from Paranoid Horror SPIRAL
Spying on neighbors is a temptation many of us face, but what if “innocent” snooping turned into a nerve-shredding experience? Such is the case in our clip from Spiral, embedded at the top of the article.
Spiral will have its U.S. Premiere at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival on October 22nd following a celebrated World Premiere at London’s FrightFest this past Summer.
Synopsis:
Set in the 90s – Malik and Aaron, a same-sex couple struggle to raise their sixteen-year-old daughter Kayla after moving to a small town filled with mysterious secrets. Within weeks of arriving, a hate crime is committed in their home – sending Malik into a state of heightened paranoia. As he investigates the town he slowly starts to uncover that something much more sinister lies beneath its friendly facade. The film harnesses the dread of reality in a unique socio-political frame and confronts society’s ever eagerness to sanction off an ‘other’- and turns it into a chilling horror fable with strong gay characters in the lead.
Spiral is directed by prolific young filmmaker Kurtis David Harder (INCONTROL) and stars Ari Cohen, Lochlyn Munroe and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman of American Horror Story and Lifetime’s critically acclaimed series unREAL, and recently announced judge on Drag Race Canada.
The film is written by Colin Minihan (What Keeps You Alive, It Stains the Sand Red) and John Poliquin (Grave Encounters 2), who both produced on behalf of Digital Interference alongside Harder and Chris Ball.
