Sometimes you go into the viewing of a film with a certain idea in mind about what to expect. If you hear about a film that features a plot that revolves around the potential haunting at a farmhouse in Tennessee, you’re likely thinking that a horror film is to follow. However, with “Light from Light,” the haunted premise gives way to something less supernatural and much more human.
As you can see in the new trailer for “Light from Light,” there is definitely a supernatural premise at play, where a widower invites some paranormal investigators to his farm to find out if he’s being haunted by his deceased wife. However, this is no ‘Conjuring.’ What you get with this film is a drama about human relationships. The horror-loving teens are surely going to eat this up, huh?
We saw the film at this year’s Sundance, and our review said, “‘Light from Light’ is a quiet and modest film with big subjects on its mind and it will reward those viewers with the patience to listen to the faint wavelengths at the end of the dial.”
The supernatural drama stars Marin Ireland, Jim Gaffigan, Josh Wiggins, Atheena Frizzell, and David Cale. The film comes from writer-director Paul Harrill. He made his feature film debut with the 2014 film, “Something, Anything.”
“Light from Light” arrives in New York City on November 1 before expanding to LA and beyond beginning on November 8.
Here’s the synopsis:
Gifted with sometimes-prophetic dreams and a lifelong interest in the paranormal, Shelia (Marin Ireland) is asked to investigate a potential haunting at a Tennessee farmhouse. It’s there she meets Richard (Jim Gaffigan), a recent widower who believes his wife may still be with him. The investigation that ensues — which eventually pulls in Shelia’s son, Owen (Josh Wiggins) and his classmate Lucy (Atheena Frizzell) — forces them to confront the mysteries of their own lives.
