In the tradition of Shutter Island and Jacob’s Ladder, The Harrowing follows fallen-from-grace Vice Detective Ryan Calhoun. After a routine surveillance goes horribly wrong, Calhoun is accused of the ritualistic murder of his best friend and partner, a prostitute, and a corrupt Congressmen. Unhinged and tormented by demonic dreams, and bent on discovering the truth, Calhoun is admitted to a forensic hospital for observation where, his sanity slowly sipping away, he begins to uncover the darkest, most terrifying truth imaginable.
Directed by Jon Keeyes (American Nightmare), the film stars Matthew Tompkins as Detective Calhoun, veteran horror actress Debbie Rochon as the schizophrenic, necrophiliac Ella, Damon Carney as Detective Jack Myers, Michael Crabtree as Lt. Logan, Robert McCollum as Detective Greenbaum, and Ambre Lowe as Calhoun’s wife, Anne. Further casting announcements are coming soon including the addition of a Horror Icon to play the head of the forensic hospital, the possibly villainous Dr. Whitney.
Filming is currently underway in Dallas with the Producers expecting to wrap principal photography in April 2013.
The Producing/Creative Team of Matthew Tompkins and Jon Keeyes are also preparing to release the horror film Nightmare Box and the psychological thriller Odd Man Out in 2013, and are busily developing a six-part mini-Series called The Mechanical Grave, a Victorian Science Fiction/Steampunk series following the enormous popularity of the short film of the same name which Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Keeyes released in 2012.
