The Undying is a supernatural thriller created by first time feature filmmaker Steven Peros ("The Lot"). This is a haunted house styled film that incorporates other themes of romance and possession as character Barbara (Robin Weigert) falls for a Civil War ghost. Can she make him mortal?

There's an unspoken sadness in each character throughout the entire film, but things are rarely talked about. That's essentially what the film is about - the disconnect between people in the wake of a tragedy - and I hope that comes across to the viewers, says filmmaker Matthew Nourse. - - - - - - There are certain movies that I watch that linger with me for weeks or even months after the viewing.

I think that's what some films do - they allow us to identify with the characters and share with the filmmakers in their journey.

Well, I did and to a certain extent I think some other people are also interested. The only problem is that it's already been released and the only way for you to watch it now is on DVD. But is it really worth it? I definitely think so. For starters, the lead is no other than the awesome young actor Ryan Donowho, with whom I just did an interview (http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/interviews/ryan_donowho_interview/). This young guy can act and act well. I don't know if I watched him...
