Introducing Brad Keene the writer for the film "From Within: An American Curse..."

"From Within," is Brad Keene's second major feature with "The Gravedancers," being his first. "The Gravedancers," made its premiere at the 2008 "After Dark Film's Horrorfest," and Keene is now announcing that he is the script writer for the third installment of "The Grudge." "The Grudge," will be shown in theatres in early 2009 once editing is complete (FromWithin...).


"From Within"

A disease that causes its hosts to commit suicide plagues Grovetown, a small rural outpost in the middle of America. Understandably, panic and fear sweep through this small town and people's suspicion falls on Lindsay, an 18 year-old girl as the carrier. Lindsay begins to distrust everyone. The trauma of witnessing so many of her friends and relatives die by their own hand is too much for Lindsay to take. Now, Lyndsay wonders if she will be the next victim of this infectious disease (Internet).

Release Date: January 9, 2009.

Rating: Rated R for violence, disturbing images and some language.

Starring: Laura Allen, Adam Goldberg, Amanda Babin, Brittany Robertson, Elizabeth Rice, Jared Harris, Kelly Blatz, Margo Harshman, Rumer Willis, Sreven Culp, and Thomas Dekker.

Director: Pheddon Papamichael.

Writer: Brad Keene.

Pheddon Papamichael is the director of films like; "3:10 to Yuma," "Identity," and "Sideways." Papamichael is the cinematographer and director of over forty titles and is truly a master of filmmaking. "From Within," made its premiere at the 2008 tribeca Film Festival and it is garnering a great deal of attention from Papamichael's peers and fans of suspense/thriller films.

Some reviewers who have seen the film are already commenting on the acting abilities of Elizabeth Rice and Thomas Dekker, two of the central characters of the story and on the film's cinematography. There is some discussion on the use of lighting and broad color palette of the cinemasphere that is enthralling audiences. It sounds like, from reading reviews that the look of the film is full of dark tones with some great exterior shots. Visually stunning with emotionally believable acting means that "From Within," is on this reviewers list of must-sees in 2008.

"From Within," focuses more on the psychological approach to moviemaking rather than the horror. This will please many who like the thriller aspect of film and not the over-the-top violence, blood, and gore of other recent films like; "Frontier(s)," and "Hostel II." With some subplots including religion, and extremism "From Within," is sure to be an entertaining thriller that is a welcome addition to the "After Dark: 8 Films to Die For," film festival.
