PREMISE
Over her winter break, Riley, a college junior, is persuaded by her estranged parents, Kathy and John, to visit home to fix their fractured relationship. As Riley settles in, she discovers that her parents have developed an unsettling friendship with her high school ex, Gordon. And that mysterious children are now living in the house. A series of disturbing flashbacks reveal Kathy and John’s time at an eerie, unconventional couples therapy retreat that promised to heal their problems through supernatural means. As the day progresses, Riley starts to uncover the dark and twisted truth of her parent’s desperate attempts to mend the deep issues plaguing their family.
JOSHUA MORGAN
Speaking about the release Director Joshua Morgan said
“Since starting this project at 17 years old, it’s been an amazing ride getting this feature developed and working alongside producers Lucas A. Ferrara and Danielle J. Bowman. Over the last 4 years our crew has unwaveringly given their all to make this movie possible. We are more than excited to get Children of the Pines in front of audiences to hopefully offer a refreshingly thoughtful, disturbing, and eerie thriller.”
LUCAS A. FERRARA
Talking about Morgan’s award-winning Directorial debut, Producer Lucas A. Ferrara said
“CHILDREN OF THE PINES is a different kind of horror film that refuses to follow formula. Unlike other projects of the genre, you won’t find any knives, guns, axes, guillotines, or even chainsaws. Violence and gore are kept to a minimum. But if you enjoy being tantalized by the unknown and witnessing the consequences of a misguided family’s cataclysmic quest for redemption, this film promises to be a uniquely compelling and thought-provoking journey – as all the “best film” wins and award nominations attest.”
