Henry actor sits in director’s chair
Shock has discovered a trailer for Pennhurst, a spin on the haunted abandoned asylum formula starring Michael Rooker, Beverley Mitchell and Haylie Duff. Rooker is also in the director’s chair, so not only does he get to boss the cast around, he gets to take them out one by one on screen as a maniac surgeon.
The trailer is effective, setting the stage, introducing some nastiness and NSFW antics. And it’s heavy on “hey, look at our production design!” We’ll keep you posted on distribution news as it comes in.
Synopsis: For decades, Pennhurst psychiatric hospital has been haunted by turbulent supernatural forces. When a local TV show embarks on a mission to capture this paranormal activity, they discover something completely unexpected. As restless souls from the past torment the crew members, they fear for their lives as one by one they are gruesomely murdered. In a surprising revelation, they discover something more terrifying than ghosts is responsible.
