Twilight Star Headed to Gallows Hill

By Uncle Creepy
September 11th, 2012

With The Twilight Saga finally drawing to a close, it's good to see the franchise stars moving on to things that do not involve brooding, sparkling, or whimpering during a kiss. Case in point: Peter Facinelli.

THR reports that Facinelli will star in Gallows Hill, a supernatural horror movie to be directed by Victor Garcia. Sophia Myles (Underworld) and Nathalia Ramos (Nickelodeon’s "House of Anubis") are also in the movie, which is being produced by David Higgins of Launchpad Productions, Peter Block of A Bigger Boat, and Andrea Chung.

Written by Richard D’Ovidio (Thirteen Ghosts), the story follows an American (Facinelli), widowed from his Colombia-born wife, who flies to Bogota with his new fiancée (Myles) to retrieve his rebellious teenage daughter, Jill (Ramos). After a car accident leaves them stranded in a rundown isolated inn, they discover the old innkeeper has locked a young girl in the basement, and their decision to set her free has unintended consequences. D’Ovidio and Higgins wrote the story.

Shooting is due to being this month in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
