A group of wannabe ghost hunters set out to shoot a pilot in the old Hewitt house which is rumored to be haunted, faking everything, and get more than they bargain for.

Viewing Notes

My third movie at Indie Horror Film Festival and the best thing I saw today. Pretty damn good for a story based on ghost hunters shooting a pilot.

Easily my favorite from the Indie Horror Film Fest of the seven films I saw. Definitely wears its low budget on its sleeve almost like a badge of honor. Plenty to nitpick but more to enjoy like flipping the phony ghost hunter trope on its ear. Very little is needed to convey the story and buy into the premise, which is refreshing. Hope Erin Cline gets more work in horror; she’s fun to watch unravel.
