Gravitas Ventures and The Last Motel have announced the VOD release of Riley Cusick’s “Autumn Road.” The Halloween-flavored horror drama will be available in North America on November 23rd, on a number of digital and cable platforms, including iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, Comcast, Dish, and Shaw.
Cusick, who previously directed a number of shorts and appeared as an actor in Chelsea Stardust’s “Satanic Panic” and Joe Begos’ “VFW,” makes his feature directorial debut in “Autumn Road” and headlines as twins Charlie and Vincent. He is joined onscreen by a cast including Lorelei Linklater (“Boyhood,” “Bomb City”), Justin Meeks (“Kill Or Be Killed,” “Butcher Boys”), and Lar Park Lincoln (“Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood”).
“Autumn Road” follows a young woman who returns to her hometown ten years after her sister vanishes while trick-or-treating to make peace with her unresolved past. Along the way, she becomes entangled with two idiosyncratic identical twins from her childhood who now run the town’s roadside haunted house. With nowhere else to go, she is drawn deeper and deeper into their world of scares, secrets, and enchanting house of horrors. While one twin pulls her closer, the other’s threats and scare tactics escalate to a breaking point where he must decide what lines he’s willing to cross. At the same time, her connection with her sister is growing as she starts to unearth new information about who she was and what happened that night all those years ago. The three haunted souls soon find themselves on a melancholic journey for truth set against the backdrop of an approaching Halloween season and the anniversary of her sister’s disappearance.
“Autumn Road” was produced by Xander McCabe under his new The Last Motel banner while Eric Floyd and Mark Schultz served as executive producers. Riley Cusick directed from his own script.
