When a terrified family flees a desolate southern New Zealand farmhouse, two cynical scientists and a young psychic are sent to investigate their claims of a haunting. There they encounter a powerful spirit that will protect the house's secrets at all cost.
The Dead Room is inspired by the chilling urban legend surrounding a farmhouse in Central Otago, New Zealand. In the early 1970s, two science tutors went to debunk claims a rural house was haunted and uncovered an incredibly disturbing mystery.
Jed Brophy (Nori in The Hobbit films) stars opposite Jeffrey Thomas and Laura Petersen. As an interesting tech note, the film takes full use of ultra low frequency rumble technology in the sound design which reportedly generates a measurable physical response from audiences so it should pack a bit of a wallop.
