Embrace the Shadow with ‘Awaken the Shadowman’ (trailer)

Haven’t seen a good cult movie since ‘The Sacrament?’ This one’s probably no match, but it does have a supernatural bent.

Adam is called home by his brother after their mother disappears, and finds himself, his wife Beth, and their baby menaced by a cult that wants a sacrifice for the titular Shadowman. Things are complicated when Beth starts trusting them. (It looks pretty derivative, but I’m a sucker for a boogeyman story, so I’ll watch it.)

The movie, directed by J.S. Wilson, stars James Zimbardi, Emily Somers, and Jean Smart. The trailer claims the movie is “Based on actual phenomena.”

The release date is July 25.

I'm a mom who loves horror movies, the '80s, and the library. I write about the above three topics more than is healthy. I've got reviews, listicles, lil nonfiction pieces, and random bits of whutnot. I also included some pretentious as hell microfiction (don't worry, it's at the bottom). Because horror is life and vice versa.
