First Photo from Haunt

Haunt was a project we first reported on late last year and the movie recently finished filming. Very little was revealed about the movie previously, but we now have some additional story details and the first official photo.

"HAUNT is the story of a family that moves into a new home with a dark past. When their son becomes involved with a beautiful girl next door, and together they begin to explore their sexual awakening, they unwittingly invoke an alternative dimension of the house."

Haunt was directed by Mac Carter and stars Liana Liberato, Harrison Gilbertson, and Jacki Weaver. Gilbertson plays the son of the family who moves into the new home, while Liberato is the girl next door, and Weaver is said to play the role of a former resident of the house. The first photo comes from Bloody Disgusting, who also mentions that a viral blog was created for the movie. The website provides some backstory about the previous owners of the house that is the focus of the movie:

"Four people — that we know about — died in the house, all around 1984.  

Mathew Morello, a teenage boy, died in a crash soon after he was given a new car for his sixteenth birthday.  The youngest daughter drowned in the family pool.  The death was not investigated and was ruled an accident.  The oldest child, a teenage daughter, hung herself immediately after the death of her siblings.  The death was investigated only briefly, and was ruled a suicide.  Franklin Morello, the father, died the following week.  His death is the most obscure of them all, and I’ve so far been unable to find more than a passing reference to him having a “nervous breakdown” after the tragedies of his children.

Angela Morello seems to still be alive, and living within the same general area.  Searching through the local newspapers, I’ve found one reference to her appearing at a friend’s funeral in 1994, but other than that — silence."
