Trailer: Suvari and Pollak connect with the dead in Apparition

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Vertical Entertainment has picked up the North American rights to director Waymon Boone's supernatural horror film APPARITION – and that title is stylized as APParition in some of the promotional material, since the concept involves an app.

Written by Boone, Rob Rose, Mark S. Allen, and Howard Burd, the story is said to be based on true events that occurred at the Preston School of Industry in Ione, California. Mena Suvari and Kevin Pollak star in the film, which centers on 

a group of millennials who find themselves at an abandoned castle, experimenting with a spiritually guided app that connects the living with the dead. This ominous, historic site of murder and torture is linked to each of them in ways they will soon discover.

Allen and Burd produced the film, with Mike Baddley, Howard Gilden, James Hanzalik, and Jim Hanzalik serving as executive producers.

Vertical is planning to give APPARITION a VOD and U.S. theatrical release on December 27th.

To help build up hype for the release, a trailer has arrived online. That's embedded above, so check it out and see if APPARITION looks like something you'd like to watch around the end of the year.
