Young ghost hunters get more than bargained for when they spend a night at a haunted house in the official trailer for The Axe Murders of Villisca, coming out on January 20th from IFC Midnight.
Synopsis: "On a June night in 1912, eight people—a mother, father, their four children, and two guests—were murdered by an axe-wielding killer in the sleepy town of Villisca, Iowa, a case that remains unsolved to this day. 104 years later, Caleb (Robert Adamson) and Denny (Jarrett Sleeper), two friends who share an interest in ghost hunting, along with Jess (Alex Frnka), the new girl in school who’s already got a reputation, sneak into the house where the infamous bloodbath occurred in hopes of recording paranormal activity. What the trio encounters is far more horrifying than anything they could have imagined. A century after the shocking crime that put Villisca on the map, a supernatural force is waiting to write the next chapter in the home’s bloody history."
Directed by Tony E. Valenzuela from a screenplay by Owen Edgerton, The Axe Murders of Villisca is slated for a January 20th release from IFC Midnight.
