Coming January 6, 2023, is the feature directorial debut of Paul Owens, Landlocked, a creative new horror movie that incorporates actual footage in the form of childhood home movies.
Landlocked‘s use of a family’s original home videos to create a fictional horror story results in unconventional found footage that combines documentary and narrative filmmaking.
A brand new trailer below reveals ominous imagery lurking beneath the surface when a man returns to his childhood home and discovers an old camera. Are they memories or something far more sinister?
The film features a cast of real-life family members playing fictionalized versions of themselves.
In Landlocked, “Summoned to his soon-to-be demolished childhood home, Mason discovers an old VHS camera that can see into the past, driving him to record as many memories as possible before the doomed house is destroyed. Utilizing the director’s own home movies, filming in the actual locations where he spent his youth and casting real-life family members to play fictionalized versions of themselves, Landlocked combines narrative and documentary with horror and sci-fi to create a movie unlike any other…”
Look for Dark Sky Film’s Landlocked on Digital, VOD, and in select theaters on January 6, 2023.
