Re: The Pact
Nicolas McCarthy's The Pact, which debuted at Sundance as a short, has just wrapped as a full-length feature produced by Preferred Content's Ross M. Dinerstein.
And with the announcement, Bloody Disgusting was provided with an exclusive first look at a concept poster for the film that gives homage to classic horror from the 1970's. Dig on it inside!
Caity Lotz ("Death Valley," "Mad Men"), Agnes Bruckner (Venom, Vacancy 2, The Woods, Kill Theory), Sam Ball ("The Event"), Haley Hudson ("Ghost Whisperer", Killer Pad) and Kathleen Rose Perkins ("Lie to Me," "Trust Me") and Casper Van Dien star.
In the ghost story hoping to return to Sundance, "as a woman struggles to come to grips with her past in the wake of her mother's death, an unsettling presence emerges in her childhood home."
The film is said to be classic horror tradition of Alfred Hitchcock's’ Psycho, Dario Argento's Suspiria and Hideo Nakata's Ringu.
Re: The Pact
Every horror film ever made since 1961, have all said they draw influences and are in the style of Hitchcock's Psycho. I've still yet to see one measure up, with maybe the sole exception of John Carpenter's Halloween.
I don't mean to be a dick, but ANYTHING with Casper Van Dien is guaranteed to fucking suck. It's not like the guy is a bad actor, it's just he's always in horrendously awful films.
He's got Christopher Lambert-syndrome.
Re: The Pact
Yeah that poster is a total throwback to 70's-era horror. Very cool.
I've always found it puzzling with Van Dien, Lambert, even the late great Dennis Hopper and Donald Pleasence were a couple others that, are great actors or at least "Good Action/Sci-Fi/Horror" Actors, AND are even 'very well known', but for some strange reason they always get utter crap for film roles.
I've always wanted to know are they just idiots when it comes to picking projects? Horrible agents? Or is the quality work just not there?
