Word of a new indie project arrived in our inbox this week along with an early look at some FX sculpture work done by Phil Nicholas for the project. Check out the first details on Spavine {Marked by Damage}.
The film is written by Tiffany Heath and will be helmed by up-and-coming horror director Edgar Price. The cast includes Denton Blane Everett (Mulberry Stains, Psychic Experiment), Tiffany Heath (The Truth, Mulberry Stains), and Jake Austin (The Taxi, Mulberry Stains).
Mel House (Psychic Experiment, Imago, Place Holders) is on board as associate producer, and Phil Nichols of Facades FX (Renfield the Undead, Boggy Creek 2010, Psychic Experiment) will be handling the special make-up effects.
Phil told us of the killer, “He wears a leather face type mask made up of the skins of children and horses,” which explains a little of what you’ll see below.
Spavine begins principal photography on April 22nd in Hamshire, Texas. Look for more soon!
Synopsis:
Plagued by nightmares and obsessive sleepwalking, Darcy Baker can’t purge her mind of the animalistic abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her mother. When Darcy’s therapist Ryan is informed that her family homestead, the very source of her nightmares, has been abandoned, he is eager to get her back there and pull the suppressed memories to the surface in order to start her journey of healing. While Darcy has no interest in walking through the door to that hell, she does have a deep desire to win the love of Ryan and succumbs to his wishes to return to her childhood home. Upon arriving at the decrepit house, she and Ryan discover that the fear mother ignites in Darcy still lives. Even more unsettling, they uncover the existence of ten-year-old Sam, a feral mute, who keeps his secrets dangerously close to his heart. Ryan admirably risks it all to heal both Sam and Darcy, but is their blood bond thicker than the healing waters he has to offer?
