Five years is too long between gigs for director Derek Franson. The director of Comforting Skin is back with a proof of concept for a new film called Rue. We insist you take a few minutes to watch it.
The stand-alone short story was produced to introduce the wraith-like Rue creature and the mythology behind it, a precursor to the feature film Derek has in development.
Enraged by an unseemly love affair between best friend and teacher, a student carelessly awakens a wraith that feeds on its victims' most shameful regrets.
All we can say after watching this is we want more. What tremendous nightmare fuel it is!
There is a collection of stills from the small production below, as well as a fx breakdown reel of the Rue creature. Creepy.
