Alex McAulay on Demonic Spirit in A House on the Bayou [Exclusive Interview]
A House on the Bayou from Alex McAulay
A getaway in the swamplands is probably the least likely idea for a vacation. Who knows what lurks in the area that may include mosquitos, crocodiles, or perhaps something more nefarious.
From director and writer Alex McAulay, A House on the Bayou is a terrifying film about a family staying at a mansion with a certain visit from unknown neighbors.
The film stars Angela Sarafyan (Westworld), Paul Schneider (Goodbye to All That, Parks & Recreation), Lia McHugh (Marvel’s Eternals, The Lodge), and Jacob Lofland (Mud, Maze Runner).
Here is the official synopsis:
In an effort to reconnect and mend their relationship, Jessica and John Chambers (Angela Sarafyan, Paul Schneider) seek an idyllic getaway with their daughter Ann (Lia McHugh) to a remote mansion in rural Louisiana. When suspiciously friendly neighbors show up for dinner uninvited, the weekend takes a sinister turn as the fragile family bond is tested and dark secrets come to light.
