Following the Ghost House Pictures distributed Seventh Moon, Lovely Molly will be Sanchez's fourth horror outing to date. The filmmaker is, in my mind, one of the few indie horror directors out there whose work is consistently well-crafted, intelligent and worth seeking out. Despite having co-created one of the biggest independent horror films of all time (Blair Witch), Sanchez refuses to rest on his laurels and follow the trend of Hollywood's current "found footage" love affair. Given the fact he helped generate the trend, one has to respect the man's integrity as a straight, no-gimmicks genre director.
Fans and critics seem to agree that Lovely Molly falls in among the filmmakers' finest work to date. It has garnered some very positive buzz at South By Southwest and is being distributed by Image Entertainment in limited theaters May 18th.
Check out the synopsis and trailer below for a better idea of what exactly makes Molly so lovely. Here's a hint: it's not her looks. (Okay, maybe it is, but some of use like to judge women for what's inside, rather that out. Especially if it's a malevolent supernatural entity.)
"When newlywed Molly Reynolds returns to her long-abandoned family home, frightful reminders of a nightmarish childhood begin seeping into her new life. She soon begins an inexorable descent into evil that blurs the lines between psychosis and possession."
Extra Tidbit: Alexandra Holden (above) also starred in the Edward Furlong vehicle Dark Reel.
