We’re all huge admires of Roger Corman’s Poe movies here, so we’re pretty hyped for director Benjamin Cooper’s Lighthouse Keeper (company website), which pays homage to them. Dig the trailer below.
From the Press Release:
ITN Distribution has acquired Edgar Allan Poe’s LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER for North America. They anticipate a 1st quarter release next year on DVD and digital. ITN also continues to shop the award-winning feature overseas.
In the movie, a young man awakens alone on a remote beach, marooned there by a violent storm. Above the the rocky crags, a lighthouse stands like a sentinel. The man seeks the help of Walsh, the enigmatic lighthouse keeper. Walsh insists they are the sole inhabitants of the peninsula. But the man is haunted by fleeting glimpses of a beautiful young woman and plagued by visions of hideous phantoms reaching out from the depths. As this horror tale races towards a mind-bending finale, the man must confront the grotesque denizens of the night or heed the lighthouse keeper’s cryptic warning to “Always keep a light burning!”
LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s last story, “The Light-House,” scripted by Carl Edge, directed by Benjamin Cooper (PRIMITIVE), and executive produced by Jeff Miller (CLOWNTOWN).
The movie stars Vernon Wells (MAD MAX 2: ROAD WARRIOR) in the titular role, Matt O’Neill (PRIMITIVE), Rachel Riley (8213: GACY HOUSE), Monty Wall (THE BRINK), S. Daxton Balzer (PRIMITIVE), Carl Edge, John Spencer File, and Erik Chavez.
Andrea Wiersma (Puppet Master X) handled special make-up effects, and Gary Jones (EVIL DEAD 2) contributed digital effects.
