New Key Art & Trailer for Gerard Johnstone’s ‘Housebound’

Featuring praise from Sir Peter Jackson, Housebound, via XLrator Media, is headed to theaters, VOD, and iTunes October 17!

“A wonderfully witty comedy horror that delights in scaring the hell out of you! Bloody brilliant!” – Sir Peter Jackson 

Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam – a well-intentioned blabbermouth who’s convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie dismisses Miriam’s superstitions as nothing more than a distraction from a life occupied by boiled vegetables & small-town gossip. However, when she too becomes privy to unsettling whispers & strange bumps in the night, she begins to wonder whether she’s inherited her overactive imagination, or if the house is in fact possessed by a hostile spirit who’s not particularly thrilled about her return.

Written and directed by Gerard Johnstone, the film stars Morgana O’Reilly, Rima Te Wiata, and Glen-Paul Waru.
