Bloody Disgusting has the first-look image from Mean Spirited, a found-footage horror-comedy directed by Jeff Ryan (Mass Hysteria).
Will Madden leads the cast as Andy, an up-and-coming Vlogger whose attempts to reconnect with his estranged friend, Bryce (played by Ryan) fall apart while a demonic presence begins tormenting the vacationing group.
It also stars Michelle Veintimilla (“Gotham”), Neville Archambault (13 Cameras, The Block Island Sound), Daniel Rashid, Maria DeCotis, and Charlie Pollock.
“There’s no better way to spend your October than filming a movie in the Poconos Mountains amidst abandoned hotels, ice-cold waterfalls, and haunted mansions,” said Ryan on the experience. “Filming on location has its challenges, but the bond our cast and crew felt throughout production is evident on screen, and I’m thrilled to share their work with the world”.
“I’m not superstitious,” he continued, “but one night after filming some spooky scenes, my door opened and closed throughout the night, my shower smelled like sulfur, and birds flew into our windows during breakfast. After rescuing the injured bird back to health, the haunting of Mean Spirited stopped.”
The film was shot in the Poconos Mountains and lensed by cinematographer Kenneth Wales (The Beta Test).
Mean Spirited is a First-Names Films production and is produced by Joe Adams and Owen Williams, and co-produced by Jacob Andres Padilla. Gerry Pass co-executive produced and Charlie Phoenix associate produced.
