Steven Schneider, whose genre credits include “Hokum,” “Undertone” and “Paranormal Activity,” has boarded “Recluse” as executive producer through his indie label Spooky Pictures.
Henry Chaisson’s debut feature will world premiere in the Escape From Tribeca section of Tribeca Film Festival next month.
The film centers on Joan, a sound recordist living in isolation who heads back to her father’s estate in the wake of a devastating fire. Tracing a series of ghostly audio fragments, she uncovers a buried family secret – and someone intent on keeping it that way.
Sasha Frolova (“The Empty Man”) leads the cast alongside Xander Berkeley (“Terminator 2: Judgement Day,” “The Walking Dead”) and Toby Poser (“Hellbender”), with Mia Vallet, Kimball Farley and Frankie Seratch in supporting roles.
“‘Recluse’ is pure nightmare fuel – blending chilling storytelling, striking visuals and haunting sound design to deliver a totally immersive horror experience. With this fearless and loud debut, Henry is emerging as the next great horror auteur – and as the film begins its festival journey, it’s a thrill to be along for the ride,” Schneider said.
