Following the tradition of Creepshow and V/H/S, the Hale Brothers present the horror anthology ‘Free To A Bad Home’ starring Miranda Nieman, Jake C. Young, Olivia Dennis, Hayley Sunshine, and Roni Locke. The film follows the lives of three strangers – a widow, a thief, and an addict, who are terrorized by cursed objects and those that spread them.
Ever since watching classic horror movies, such as Night of the Living Dead and Halloween, at far too young of an age, directors Scott and Kameron Hale have always had an unshakeable love and obsession with film, especially Horror. For them, it is the most flexible, creative, and honest subgenre. It affords those who embrace it an opportunity to tell stories that tap into every aspect of the human experience.
Discussing the movie and genre, directors Scott and Kameron Hale share, ‘We have always wanted to write, produce, and direct films. Now, we are fortunate enough to be in a place in our lives to make that a possibility. Our feature film, Entropy, was our first foray into filmmaking, and it was shortly after wrapping production that Kameron began thinking about our next project – Free to a Bad Home. What began as a short film about grief and possession quickly became a smaller whole of a larger narrative about cursed objects passed down through the generations, to be used as gateways for cruel spirits who revel in suffering. Telling the story in an anthology format just made sense, and it gave us an opportunity to explore how to stretch the format while also staying true to it. Regardless of budget and time, it is always our goal to challenge ourselves, and we loved the idea of creating an anthology with a singular vision that used seemingly disconnected-but-actually-strongly-linked stories that subtly form what amounts to an origin story for our villainess’.
Free to a Bad Home wasn’t the next feature they planned but it was, in retrospect, the next logical step in our career. With their skills refined, cast expanded, and ambitions greater than ever, Free to a Bad Home, like the cursed objects in the film, found them and prepared them to unleash it onto an unsuspecting world.”
The movie, distributed by Terror Films, arrives On Digital on February 17th.
