Directed by Mike Sargent, written by Mike Kuciak with story by Ian Holt, (co-author, with Dacre Stoker, of the international bestseller, “Dracula the Un-Dead”, the official sequel to Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel, “Dracula”), Mike Kuciak, and Mike Sargent, From The Shadows is produced by Michael Alden, Ian Holt and Mike Kuciak of Alt-House Productions  in partnership with PFG Films. Special Effects makeup is designed by Vincent J. Guastini, with sound design by Academy Award® winner Cecelia Hall. The film’s score is composed by horror legend, Alan Howarth, who collaborated with John Carpenter for the scores to classics such as “Halloween,” “They Live,” “Prince Of Darkness,” and “Escape From New York.”

 

“What intrigued me most about directing this film was the idea of fear of the unknown,” said Mike Sargent. “The idea that there is something malevolent waiting for us in the darkness that we can’t see but we know is there. I also think we live in a world where we often wonder how people could commit some of the evil that they do. So, when you put this together with the ability to work with two icons like Keith David and Bruce Davison… It’s literally a genre lover’s dream come true.” 

“Horror is my first and greatest love,” said screenwriter Mike Kuciak. “With From the Shadows, we get the visceral horror thrill of a crazed man with a knife leaping up behind the characters, and we get something of a Lovecraftian element in the sense that two scientists and a journalist explore something they think is simple at the face of it, only to discover something cosmic and unknown at work. I think horror works best when it is, at its core, a human story.”

 

Ian Holt, who devised the story of the film, said, “We got the idea for the film from Erich Von Daniken and Giorgio Tsoukalos and their “Ancient Aliens” theories, which I’ve been a fan of since I saw the documentary "Chariots Of The Gods" as a kid. The theory goes that long ago, aliens came to earth to advance our civilization by passing along to us the secret dark powers of the universe. How scary would it be if a modern man rediscovered these ancient powers? We just knew that this scenario could make for one heck of an original and terrifying supernatural horror thriller, and that was the jumping off point for From the Shadows.”

 

From The Shadows won the Best Feature Award at The Horrorween Festival, was a finalist at The Stranger Days Horror Festival, is an official selection of the Phobia Film Festival in Missouri and The Port Of Fear Film Festival, Kenosha, WI.
