We’ve got some new stills and details for the upcoming film from director Jourdan McClure and After Dark Films, Children Of Sorrow, which stars the great indie horror auteur Bill Oberst Jr.. Oberst Jr. has to be one of the greatest horror actors working today, and the hardest working to boot and from knowing the man personally, I can attest that he is the nicest and most modest guy you would ever want to meet in the business. Read on for more details and a look at the new pics from the film down below.
The 2012 Shockfest Film Festival in Hollywood, CA featured the Shocker Awards. Jourdan McClure’s Children of Sorrow won Best Film and Bill Oberst Jr. won Best Actor.
From The Press Release
After Dark Films proudly announces the fourth film in its After Dark Originals 2 series (ADO2), CHILDREN OF SORROW. A film that delivers a petrifying look into a cult psyche, CHILDREN OF SORROW is directed by Jourdan McClure (Rogue River, Die Maniacs Die!), written by Ryan Finnerty (Rogue River, Smosh), and stars Bill Oberst, Jr. (Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, Take this Lollipop) and Hannah Levien (The Palace Players).
“We are so excited to welcome Jourdan McClure into the After Dark Family. He’s an incredible talent. Children of Sorrow is such a thought-provoking and disturbing film. It sparked many debates and was the cause of endless sleepless nights.” -Stephanie Caleb, EVP Creative Affairs
Plot Synopsis
Simon Leach is a very, very sick man. Thriving on despair, pain, and panic, he unites a group of broken and desperate people in the middle of the desert. He showers them with the love and affection they’re so desperate for, but Simon has a much greater plan for his followers. “Belongingness” can be a terrifying subject, even more so when acceptance is disingenuous. Children of Sorrow is the nightmare version of that. A young woman embeds herself in a cult looking for answers to her sister’s disappearance, only to find a dark secret within the cult and an even darker secret within herself.
