Inspired by far-right US politicians waging war on bodily autonomy, phantasmagoric indie horror film House of Ashes will be released on VOD on October 30.
Still reeling from a miscarriage, Mia grieves her husband Adam, found dead at the veterinary clinic they owned. She’s been acquitted of Adam’s death, but is under public scrutiny and must serve a house arrest sentence due to living in a state where miscarriage carries heavy punishment.
Enter Marc, an old friend who loves and protects Mia. Not long after he moves in, the new couple endures challenges: things go missing and they’re attacked by an unseen foe. Mia is sure that the culprit is a supernatural entity, but Marc’s convinced that humans are the problem.
A security expert by trade, Marc installs a home surveillance system to help keep them safe — but soon finds out that this is an issue he can’t fix. Under all these pressures, Mia must call on her buried strength to move on with her life… or risk death herself.
Fayna Sanchez (Abraham’s Boys), Vincent Stalba, Laura Dromerick, Lee Boxleitner, and Mason Conrad star, with cameos from filmmakers Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Mayhem) and Mick Garris (“The Stand,” Sleepwalkers).
Izzy Lee makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with Steve Johanson. The Black Phone and Sinister writer C. Robert Cargill serves as a co-producer.
House of Ashes premiered at the 2024 Brooklyn Horror Film Festival before playing FrightFest Glasgow, Etheria, GenreBlast Film Festival, Salem Horror Fest, and Popcorn Frights, among others.
Michelle Swope wrote in her review, “Expert storytelling and skillful direction by Lee makes House of Ashes a scathing, nightmarishly relevant commentary on the way society views women and the control that men try to maintain over them.”
