GHOSTS OF THE VOID won the jury award for Scariest Feature Film Prize at the Ninth Annual Popcorn Frights Film Festival. The festival organizers stated: “Jason Miller’s chilling saga is a timely tale that reminds us that true terror often lies beyond the supernatural by capturing the essence of our collective fear.”
Dubbed “One of the year’s most sneakily effective horror films” by RogerEbert.com, Ghosts in the Void follows a young couple who are forced to spend the night in their car after being evicted from their home. Battling exhaustion and anxiety, the sudden appearance of masked strangers makes what is already their most distressing night even worse.
Ghosts of the Void was picked up by The Horror Collective, which will release the film later this year.
Ghosts of the Void marks the directorial debut of writer/director Jason Miller, who previously wrote and produced the action film “Echo Boomers,” starring Michael Shannon. Starring Michael Reagan (Lovecraft Country), Tedra Millan (Daddy’s Girl) and produced by Tony Kamin, Mike Ware and Speakeasy Pictures’ Seth Savoy. The deal was negotiated on behalf of the producers by Jay Burnley and Chandler Freelander of Slated.
“Ghost of the Void not only stays true to its genre but is unpredictable from beginning to end. This movie is a puzzle that will have audiences talking.” said producer Seth Savoy.
Entertainment Squad’s CEO, Shaked Berenson, stated: “Horror films echo the spirit of their age. Ghosts of the Void timely arrives amidst rampant inflation and vanishing livelihoods for many, and reminds us that true terror often lies beyond the supernatural by capturing the essence of our collective fear.
Writer/director Jason Miller expanded “The driving force of this movie for me was to capture the anxiety and fears that so many of us experience as we struggle to find our footing in the world, and to express those feelings through my favorite genre, horror.”
Popcorn Frights will be closing the film’s long festival run including the Midwest Film Festival, Kansas City Underground, Toronto City Horror Fest, LA Shockfest, Macabre Faire Film Festival, Sin Film Festival, Royal Starr Film Festival, and won several awards including Best Thriller at the Crown Point International Film Festival, Best Picture at the Los Angeles Cinematography Awards and Best Sound Editing at the Festival of Cinema NYC.
