What happens after a Near Death Experience? In director Tom Lewis' The Periphery, a ghost returns from the other side. The Periphery is a psychological horror title, which will have its premiere June 3rd, 2014, at the Dances with Films festival. This indie horror title stars Nick Clark (The Girls Guide to Depravity), Andrew Olson (1000 Ways to Die) and Kristen StephensonPino. A trailer and movie poster for the feature are hosted here. For more on the story, The Periphery begins with an Nde and ends with the character Cassie Stevens (StephensonPino). Cassie is dealing with head trauma, while seeing strange visions. A ghost appears out of the corner of Cassie's eye, but what is this vision? Cassie must seek help, or lose any sense of sanity. The World Premiere for The Periphery will take place in Hollywood, California. Here, the film will play at the Tcl Chinese Theatre, at 9:00pm.

In case you're wondering what a periphery is, think of it as an area usually home to what you see with your peripheral vision. If you don't know what peripheral vision is then you probably get into lots of accidents and have a habit of bumping into stuff. In any event it's also the new home for horror!
