Seek (Directed by Aaron Morgan)

Starring: Allisyn Snyder, Clare Grant, and Steve Agee

Synopsis: Heidi and Jordan have been driving all night, and the two estranged sisters aren't getting along. Amidst this tense atmosphere, they make a stop at a dilapidated roadside park, where Heidi takes a bathroom break. But inside the filthy room, a mischievous...

I promise you, you will not be making any pit stops on your future road trips after watching this eerie 5-minute horror short, Seek. The creepfest — which was directed by Aaron Morgan from a script written with /Film's very own Eric Vespe! — is heavy on tension and tone, as well as effects and even animatronics. With such a short run time, the result is impressive and perfect for the lead-up to Halloween.

According to Fangoria, the synopsis for the film reads:

Estranged sisters Heidi and Jordan have been driving all night when they come across a dilapidated roadside park and...

The post You'll Never Use a Rest Stop Again After Watching the Horror Short, Seek appeared first on /Film.

"You hide, I seek." This is creepyy!! A new horror short film made by filmmakers Aaron Morgan and Eric Vespe (formerly known as "Quint" from his AICN days) is now online. Seek was supposed to premiere last year at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, eventually playing at this year's Fantastic Fest. After driving all night, two sisters come across a dilapidated roadside park. It reveals itself to be more than meets the eye when one sister stumbles upon a mischievous resident inhabiting the bathroom that wants to play a sinister game... Who's hiding out in there? The film stars Allisyn Snyder, Clare Grant, and Steve Agee; with practical effects by two-time Academy Award-nominee Arjen Tuiten, based on concept designs by Weta Workshop. And there's a poster by artist Jc Richard as well. Nothing like a good horror short to make your heart rate go up. This makes me never want to...

Rest stops can be scary on unfamiliar stretches of road, and in Aaron Morgan's new horror short film Seek, two sisters unknowingly drive right into a nightmare when they pull over at a park bathroom. Ahead of its world premiere at SXSW 2020, Seek is featured in a new teaser trailer that introduces viewers to its deadly detour.

Directed by Aaron Morgan from a screenplay by Morgan and Eric Vespe, executive produced by Michaela Morgan, and produced by Paul Gandersman, Peter Hall, and Vespe, Seek stars Allisyn Snyder, Clare Grant, Steve Agee, and Sarah Anne Williams.

Seek will have its world premiere screening at SXSW on Saturday, March 14th at 9:00pm at the Alamo Lamar D. We have the short film's official synopsis, teaser trailer, and art print below, and to learn more, visit:

Horror shorts are always an exciting space to keep an eye on up-an-coming genre filmmakers, and today brings a trailer for Seek, one of the new shorts heading to SXSW -- and it has some pretty dang high-profile seals of approval. “Well crafted top to bottom. Creepy, effective, and beautiful,” reads a quote from Rian Johnson in the trailers opening moments, with Annabelle Comes Home filmmaker Gary Dauberman adding "Seek is unnerving, imaginative and best of all scary." The short comes from director/co-writer Aaron Morgan and co-writer/producer Eric Vespe ( a friend of the site …...

Why Watch? “Isolated in a place where twisted creatures torment him from the dark, a man desperately tries to find an escape.” From a director we’ve known for a while (Kristoffer Aaron Morgan) and a writer we know as well (Eric Vespe of Ain’t It Cool News fame), comes a bloody fun short starring an actor we follow on Twitter (A.J. Bowen). It’s hauntingly atmospheric and even if you’ve seen it already, you should probably watch it again. The work speaks for itself. What will it cost you? Only 9 blood-soaked minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.

Check out this terrifyingly awesome supernatural horror short film called "No Way Out" written by AICN's Eric Vespe a.k.a. Quint and directed by Kristoffer Aaron Morgan.

The movie stars A.J. Bowen (The Signal, The House of the Devil, You’re Next) who plays a man that is desperately trying to escape an isolated place full of creatures who torment him from the dark.

The movie played at Fantastic Fest last year, but now you can watch it online! "Now Way Out" was shot for less than $3000 in two days, and here's what Morgan had to say about it,

I wanted this to be a simple, visual horror poem about being paralyzed by your own thoughts. Working with Aj Bowen was pure movie making bliss. He blends professionalism and good natured humor perfectly while on set, making everything more relaxed.

I thought this was a great horror short,...

Obviously our focus on film is geared more towards feature length cinema, but every now and then a spectacular short film comes along that just deserves and even begs to be seen. Some of those even go on to get feature film deals like the recent short True Skin which just got picked up by Warner Bros. That brings us to No Way Out, a twisted, spooky horror short that played at Fantastic Fest last year. The film stars A.J. Bowen (The House of the Devil, You’re Next) as a man stuck and scared out of his mind in a basement where something unnatural seems to be with him. It's the scariest new film you'll watch this Halloween. Here's Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's Fantastic Fest horror short No Way Out via Bloody Disgusting: "Isolated in a place where twisted creatures torment him from the dark, a man desperately tries to find an escape.

No one grows up with hopes and dreams to be a short filmmaker. People who want to make films aspire to make features and it takes time to realize the short subject is one of the best steps to achieving that goal. However, in the case of director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan, writer Eric Vespe and their short film No Way Out, they did things backwards. Before No Way Out was even conceived, Vespe, best known as Quint from Ain't It Cool News, and Morgan had already sold Dimension the rights [1] to The Home, their feature length, haunted nursing home movie. But when pre-production on that film was put on hiatus, the pair decided a short might be a good way to practice their craft and simultaneously hang with some of their Austin, Texas film friends. Two thousand dollars later, they have No Way Out, a 10-minute short starring A.J.

They may not get a lot of press, but short films and short filmmakers are the lifeblood of film festivals. They are the place to discover great new filmmakers. Before Steven Spielberg blew up with "Jaws," he was a 22-year-old kid with a short called "Amblin." Before Martin Scorsese reinvented the gangster genre with "Mean Streets," he was a film student with a six minute movie called "The Big Shave." Before they were famous filmmakers, they were short filmmakers.

Short films are a great way to get your foot in the door of Hollywood, but if you've never made a short before, it may be tough to know how to even open that door in the first place. With that in mind, we recruited the team behind the Fantastic Fest short "No Way Out" -- actor A.J. Bowen (a.k.a. one of the stars of the multiple Fantastic...

Horror fans, where are you? We have some great news for you, something new is coming, and we’re here to take you to The Home, an upcoming Kristoffer Aaron Morgan‘s project that has great Michelle Rodriguez attached to star!

Of course, she’s not the only one, because The Home also stars Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy), Louise Fletcher (Cruel Intentions), Fionnula Flanagan (Four Brothers), Cloris Leachman, Louis Gossett Jr. and Ed Asner.

Written by Eric Vespe, the story follows a young man who is “nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. He is taken to a secluded nursing home to recuperate, where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from crazy delusions.

But after witnessing a violent attack, he soon realizes that the screams behind the walls are caused by more than hallucinations, and the residents are being preyed upon by twisted,...

Mark Wahlberg is starring in Contraband right now -- the film is a remake of the well-regarded thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam, with Baltasar Kormakur, an actor in the original, directing the new version. The film follows a one-time smuggler (Wahlberg) who has taken a straight job as a security guard, but gets pulled back into illegal activity. Now the ever-reliable J.K. Simmons is on board as a captain. The also-reliable Ben Foster is the brother-in-law of the main character and the guy that pulls him back into the Life; Kate Beckinsale, Giovanni Ribisi, Diego Luna and Lukas Haas are also on board. [Av Club [1] -- this interview is wonderful and a must-read for fans of the actor.] After the break, Michelle Rodriguez goes to The Home and Robin McLeavy joins Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter after all. Michelle Rodriguez says her next film will be a horror picture called The Home that takes place in a haunted nursing home.

Michelle Rodriguez tells The Playlist that she is in talks to star in Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's upcoming horror feature "The Home". The story follows a young man recuperating from an accident at a a secluded nursing home where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from delusions. He soon realizes that the screams behind the walls are caused by more than hallucinations, something in the house is preying on them. Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louis Gossett Jr, and Ed Asner also star. "More likely than not I'll be doing that this summer over there, they're getting production set up now" she says. Shooting will take place in Texas....

And we love the idea already! Michelle Rodriguez spoke with IndieWire earlier today and revealed she is in negations to star in The Home which will be lensed by director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan. Morgan has already cut his teeth on a few horror documentary and horror shorts, this would be his first feature film and Rodriguez would be a "get" at this point....

While speaking about The Home, Rodriguez had this to say, "More likely than not I'll be doing that this summer over there, they're getting production set up now," she said. Shooting will take place in Texas and co-star Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louis Gossett Jr, and Ed Asner.

Plot Synopsis: A young man is nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. To recuperate, he is taken to a secluded nursing home where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from delusions.

Battle: Los Angeles co-star Michelle Rodriguez confirmed in a recent interview that she will have a role in the upcoming Robert Rodriguez produced horror film, The Home. The movie was written by Eric Vespe (aka Quint from AICN).

The story follows a young man who is "nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. He is taken to a secluded nursing home to recuperate, where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from crazy delusions. But after witnessing a violent attack, he soon realizes that the screams behind the walls are caused by more than hallucinations, and the residents are being preyed upon by twisted, monstrous nightmares that lurk within the home itself."

This sounds like it's going to be an awesome horror movie!

Rodriguez will join a great cast of actors previously cast in the films which includes Brian Cox (X-Men), Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein...

Not since May 2009 have we bought you any news on Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's nursing home horror tale 'The Home'. In fact it was a cool looking teaser poster featuring a blood soaked hospital bracelet which you can check out below. Now there are reports that 'Battle: Los Angeles' star Michelle Rodriguez ('Lost', 'Resident Evil') may sign up to the project and join the already cast Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Ed Asner and Fionnula Flanagan. The Dimension Films production, being directed from a script by Eric Vespe, will begin it's shoot in Texas. Check out what Rodriguez had to say on the subject below....

IndieWire had the chance to speak to Michelle Rodriguez who revealed that she will is in talks to star in "The Home" horror film, which is set to be directed by Kristoffer Aaron Morgan.

If the cast of Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's H.P. Lovecraftian horror The Home wasn't already out of this world, Indiewire has learned that Battle: Los Angeles star Michelle Rodriguez might be checking in as well. When asked about joining the cast of The Home for Dimension Films, Rodriguez told the site, "More likely than not I'll be doing that this summer over there, they're getting production set up now." Should this become official, she'll join Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Edward Asner, Fionnula Flanagan, Brian Cox, and Cloris Leachman in the pic penned by AICN vet Eric Vespe (Quint).

Michelle Rodriguez - now seen in Battle: Los Angeles - might be the next cast member to enter Dimension Films' The Home . The actress tells Indiewire, "More likely than not I'll be doing that this summer over there, they're getting production set up now." Shooting will take place in Texas with stars Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Ed Asner and Fionnula Flanagan. Kristoffer Aaron Morgan will direct from a script he penned with Eric Vespe. Who Rodriguez will play is unknown. I think it's safe to say, as long as it's not a soldier of some kind, the role will be a breath of fresh air. The story unfolds when a firefighter is nearly killed during a failed rescue that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. To recuperate, he...

Here’s news of an interesting project which has been picked up by producer Bob Weinstein’s genre wing Dimension Films, and has received a helping hand from a master of the trade.

The film is entitled The Home and it tells the story of a firefighter injuring in the line of duty and convalescing in a rest home, who soon realises that something evil is lurking within the place, and is responsible for attacks on the elderly residents. Sounds like a sinister cross between Cocoon and The Amityville Horror!

The film has an impressive pedigree of talent behind it. The cast is made of a number of industry character actor veterans including Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr. and Ed Asner, and the script has been co-written by director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan and none other than Ain’t It Cool’s Quint, aka Eric Vespe (a...

In New Orleans, January 6 is the first day you can buy a king cake before Mardi Gras ... it's the Feast of Epiphany, or Three Kings' Day. So all I can think about today is cake. Fortunately, I'm distracting myself with a lot of local film news, some of which is really good.

My favorite news this week: Local filmmaker Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's upcoming film production The Home has been picked up by Dimension Films (the Weinsteins' horror-movie company). Morgan and Eric Vespe wrote the script for this horror movie. Morgan is someone I always see at Alamo Drafthouse movies and film fests (I took the photo of him at right at Fantastic Fest 2009), and lots of you probably know Vespe under his pen name of Quint at Ain't It Cool News. The Home will be shooting in Austin soon, and will star Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Brian Cox and Ed Asner.

Like most films, The Home has had a rocky road to getting made, but it looks like the sailing through Cthulu-infested waters will be smoother now that Dimension Films has agreed to release the film. As reported before, the film puts Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman, Brian Cox, Fionnula Flanagan, Louise Fletcher and Louis Gossett, Jr (and whatever young leads are announced) into an old folks home and tortures them with Knb-designed practical monsters until their screams and uneaten no-sugar-added apple sauce cups are used for the building’s fuel. Calls to filmmaker Kristoffer Aaron Morgan went unanswered, which I’ll assume means, “we want to have the film done by Fantastic Fest.” Morgan most recently had his short, yet hilariously nutritious, take on zombies hit said fest as one of the infamous bumpers. You can watch it after the jump. In consideration of full disclosure, Fsr publisher Neil Miller is the bearded zombie in the blue button...

/Film reports some exciting news as they're claiming Dimension Films is finally doing something "original" as they've acquired Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's H.P. Lovecraftian horror The Home, which as we previously reported stars Brian Cox (The Ring, Trick 'r Treat), Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein), Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest), Louis Gossett Jr. (The Invaders, Jaws 3D), Ed Asner (Up, The Mod Squad), and Fionnula Flanagan ("Lost," The Others).

It's being reported by our friends over at /Film that Kristoffer Aaron Morgan‘s horror film The Home has been picked up by Dimension Films for distribution.

The Home is an original horror film written by Morgan and Eric Vespe who most of you may know as Quint from Ain’t It Cool News. It also has a great cast of actors which includes Brian Cox (X-Men), Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein), Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), Louis Gossett Jr. (The Invaders), Ed Asner (Up, The Mod Squad), and Fionnula Flanagan (Lost).

It's another win for original horror films as Dimension Films puts the upcoming feature "The Home" under their distribution wing. The film will be directed by Kristoffer Aaron Morgan and was written by himself along with Ain't It Cool News writer Eric Vespe. Principal photography on the horror thriller will begin in Austin, Texas soon. The cast for "The Home" includes Brian Cox, Louise Fletcher, Fionnula Flanagan, Cloris Leachman, Ed Asner and Louis Gossett Jr. "Machete" producer Elizabeth Avellan is on board the production with co-producer Elijah Wood.

[1] I have just heard that Bob Weinstein and Dimension Films have acquired Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's H.P. Lovecraftian horror film The Home. I'm happy to hear that Dimension Films wants to release an original movie again. The Home seems like a film they would have invested in back in the mid-1990's. It seems like now-a-days, they're concentrating mostly on sequels, remakes and un-funny parody movies. No word on if Dimension will be releasing the film theatrically or just home video. I'm sure, at very least, The Home will have a film festival run. Penned by Morgan alongside Eric Vespe (better known to film geeks at Quint from Ain't It Cool News), the story has been described as a "character driven, atmospheric, twisted creature flick". The Home tells the story of a firefighter who "is nearly killed during a failed rescue that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. To recuperate,...

Dimension Films has acquired distribution rights to 'The Home,' an old folks' home-set horror movie starring Ed Asner, Louis Gossett Jr., Louise Fletcher and Cloris Leachman. Pre-production began this week on the Kristoffer Aaron Morgan-directed film, which will go in front of cameras next month in Austin, TX. Pictured above is a piece of Weta-designed concept art for the film.

After directorship passing back and forth between the two, it looks like the big screen adaptation of sci-fi novel 'Cloud Atlas' will be directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis. That's according to Natalie Portman, at least, who will have some kind of role in the film since she's the one who first introduced all of the parties to David Mitchell's novel.

When Don Coscarelli populated Bubba Ho Tep almost entirely with senior citizens my initial response was what a great idea that was for a horror film. Ho Tep plays it mostly for laughs, of course, but think about it. Old folks' homes are places that most - if we're honest - find a little bit uncomfortable, a little bit alien. They are filled with people who have led rich lives but who are now physically frail and often mentally suspect as their faculties break down. And, mostly, they force us to confront our own mortality. Perfect fodder for horror then, though you arguably may not want the flashes of gratuitous nudity that frequently come with the genre.

Kristoffer Aaron Morgan and Eric Vespe (aka Kraken and Quint of AICN) have begun to assemble a cast for their horror film The Home: namely Louis Gossett Jr. (Iron Eagle), Ed Asner (Up) and Fionnula Flanagan (the Lucy to Desmond Hume’s Charlie Brown on Lost). Bloody Disgusting reports that Brian Cox (chewing scenery in the recent Red) and the great Cloris Leachman (Raising Hope) are also in talks to star in the horror thriller.

The Home concerns a young man who, after suffering a horrible accident, goes to recuperate at a nursing home… that just so happens to be infested with carnivorous monsters. Tough break. Having unfortunately visited a nursing home not too long ago, I can tell you that they are heartbreakingly sad and terrifying all at once. I wasn’t sure whether to cry for the elder woman, who stared transfixed at a blank unplugged television...

Last year we wrote about the announcement of a new indie horror project in the works called The Home, written by AICN's Eric Vespe, to be directed by Kristoffer Aaron Morgan. They've been working on putting together the production for a while and we've been waiting to hear news about it. Well, Bloody-Disgusting received a big casting scoop today for this film, which looks like it might have an impressive cast lined-up. Although not officially signed yet, they're in discussions with Brian Cox (Zodiac, Trick 'r Treat, Red, The Escapist) and Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein, You Again) to star, with a few others set as well. In addition to those two, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Edward Asner and Fionnula Flanagan have also all joined cast. As a reminder, here's a the plot: The Home unfolds after a young man is nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him...

Most movies these days chronicle the generic and .drama. filled lives of good-looking, in-shape kids in their late teens or early-20s, finding ways to get unnecessarily sweaty and breathy when they talk. Not The Home, though. From rookie director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan and writer AICN alumni Eric Vespe (better known as Quint over there), The Home takes a haunted geriatric care facility and fills it with creepy crawlies. And I.m not just talking about the old folks. Film School Rejects have it that four big time seniors have been added to the cast, and if it.s true, we might have something great on our hands. Ed Asner (Carl in Up), Louis Gossett Jr (Oscar winner for An Officer and a Gentlemen), Louise Fletcher (Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo.s Nest), and finally Fionnula Flanagan (most recently found creeping up the last couple seasons of...

Director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's The Home is really filling out.  Reports are surfacing about a slew of actors joining the cast.  A young man moves into a nursing home to recuperate from a massive accident, and starts to realize that the delusions suffered by his elderly roommates may not be dementia.  Just who can you expect to see in The Home? Louise Fletcher (Flowers in the Attic), Louis Gossett Jr.(Jaws 3D), Edward Asner, and Fionnula Flanagan have all be signed to the film.  Word has it that Cloris Leachman and Brian Cox are also in talks to join the cast.

We’ve reported on The Home before because of the shiver-inducing concept art created by Weta, and it looks like the show might finally be on the road to getting off the road at a secure location where they can start filming frightening things attacking senior citizens. The list of senior citizens now includes Oscar winner (and film nerd favorite) Louise Fletcher, Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr, Ed Asner, and Fionnula Flanagan (a veteran of stage, screen, and the creepiest character on Lost). Plus, the production is in talks to secure both Brian Cox and Cloris Leachman. In the effort of full disclosure, I’ve lost poker money to both director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan and writer Eric Vespe, but that seething bitterness I feel toward that loss is overcome by a truly strong list of actors that I think anyone would raise an eyebrow at. It’s Nurse Ratched! And Mary Tyler Moore’s boss! And...

It's been a few months since last we spoke about Kristopher Aaron Morgan's The Home, but wow, have the folks behind it used that time wisely! Some casting news has hit online this morning, and dare we say the line-up is pretty impressive.

According to Bloody Disgusting "Louise Fletcher (Flowers in the Attic, Exorcist II, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), Louis Gossett Jr. (Enemy Mine, The Invaders, Jaws 3D), Edward Asner (Up, "The Mod Squad," "The Invaders," "Mission: Impossible"), and Nicole Flannigan are all signed on to star in Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's H.P. Lovecraftian The Home, which was penned by both Morgan and AICN writer Eric Vespe. It's also worth noting that Brian Cox (Red, Rise of the Apes, Trick 'r Treat) and Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein, Lake Placid 2, Scary Movie 2) are both in discussions."

We learned that Kristoffer Aaron Morgan's The Home is now in pre-production and slated to begin production this September in Austin, Texas. Penned by Eric Vespe from a story by Morgan, The Home unfolds after a young man is nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. To recuperate, he is taken to a secluded nursing home where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from delusions. But after witnessing a violent attack, he soon realizes that the screams behind the walls are caused by more than hallucinations, and the residents are being preyed upon by twisted, monstrous nightmares that lurk within the home itself. Check out the new sales art below.

Director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan got in touch with an update and an exclusive piece of production art (see below) from his fright feature Home. Scripted by Eric Vespe (also a producer) and Matt Ward, the movie will showcase creatures and other horrific illusions designed by Richard Taylor of Weta FX in New Zealand, where the film will shoot.

Franck Ribiere and Verane Frediani of the acclaimed French gorefest Inside have come aboard the project as producers, as has Lord Of The Rings star Elijah Wood; Taylor is serving as an executive producer as well. “I can’t put into words how excited I am as a filmmaker and a horror fan by the team we’ve been able to put together on this project,” Morgan tells Fango. “We’re honored to have a master of his craft like Richard Taylor involved. Of course, our goal is to make this project...

Back in August we reported that Peter Jackson's special effects shop Weta had become attached to a small horror project called The Home. While writer/director Kristoffer Aaron Morgan is set to start shooting in New Zealand come spring, Bloody Disgusting tells us today that the project has secured a trio of new producers. The first two are the duo behind the French scare Inside, Franck Ribiere and Verane Frediani, which brings another horror/thriller element to the project. The third to join the team is none other than Elijah Wood, whose involvement is a bit quizzical, but acceptable. Bd also nabbed some pretty outstanding early art for the film, which definitely gives me the impression The Home is on the right foundation. Seriously, when was the last time you saw vacant-eyed dolls gnawing on an old woman? The artwork obviously depicts one of the nightmares preying upon the...

Matt Ward co-scripted and Vespe is executive producing. "Our producers are Franck Ribiere and Verane Frediani, who produced that great French gore-fest Inside ," Vespe announces. "They have started a new production company called Overlook Entertainment and will be producing our movie under that banner. Franck and Verane have been fantastic so far and very supportive. Also producing is actor Elijah Wood. He's not appearing in the movie, but has been very enthusiastic and has taken the reins on producing alongside Franck, Verane and New Zealand producer Annette Wullems [of King Kong ]." Weta...
