Featuring an entity that's as creepy as its backstory is disturbing, Derek Franson's Rue introduces viewers to a new cinematic creature to give them nightmares, and you can watch the short film right here on Daily Dead.
Written, directed, and produced by Derek Franson, Rue stars Morgan Taylor Campbell, Brad Dryborough, and Sarah Grey. A stand-alone, proof-of-concept story set in the world of a feature film that's currently in development, Rue showcases absolutely haunting visual effects by Imagine Engine (District 9, Deadpool, and Jurassic World).
Synopsis: "Enraged by an unseemly love affair between best friend and teacher, a student carelessly awakens a wraith that feeds on its victims' most shameful regrets."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
