The Australian made supernatural horror film ‘Muirhouse’ has been invited to be part of the 2012 Fright Night Film Festival following standing room only screenings at last months Cannes Film Festival.
‘Muirhouse’ screened to packed audiences at Marche Du Film during May’s festival and is hoping to follow this success by scaring the audiences at this iconic horror festival in Louisville, USA.
This years festival, one of the biggest horror and recognized horror festivals in the world, will take place over three days from the 29th June. Many legends of horror will be attending including Bruce Campbell, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman and Norman Reedus.
‘Being invited to not only attend but have our film participate at such an iconic horror festival is a massive honor’ Writer/Director of ‘Muirhouse’ Tanzeal Rahim comments ‘only a handful of Australian movies over the years have had this opportunity, and we are so thrilled that ‘Muirhouse’ has been selected to join that list!’
In the tradition of films like ‘The Blair Witch Project’ and ‘Paranormal Activity’ – ‘Muirhouse’ is a documentary style film set in Australia’s most haunted house; the Monte Cristo Homestead.
The film is based on actual happenings at the house from documented recordings by paranormal experts. Philip Muirhouse (played by Australian actor Iain PF MacDonald) finds himself alone in the house; and the frightening events of that night are recorded in real time by camera and audio devices; taking the audience on a suspenseful, nail biting ride!
- Writer/Director Tanzeal Rahim will be available for interviews in the US from 28th June – 2nd July
- Lead Actor Iain PF McDonald will be available for interviews in the US from 21st June – 3rd July
