Fantasia is hosting an assortment of horror cinema goodies and many of them are Canadian born and bred features e.g. The Shrine, The Necronomicon and director Chad Archibald's Neverlost. Neverlost's first screening on July 20th has already been sold out, but a second showing on the 22nd is still available for fans of psychological terror. The film really sells itself, as a depressed scriptwriter escapes into fantasy in order to distort the reality of a forthcoming divorce. The trailer inside is visually stunning and the clip shows why Neverlost will likely sell out a second showing. Check out the first trailer for Neverlost inside.
The synopsis for Neverlost, courtesy of Twitch Films, here:
"Neverlost follows the psychic meltdown of sleep-deprived, depressive, thirty-something failed scriptwriter Josh Higgins, spiraling into matrimonial hell with his embittered wife of two years, Megan. The young couple struggle to co-exist in a poisoned climate of frayed nerves, resentment and incommunicability.
Continues...
To cure his insomnia, Josh convinces his doctor to prescribe some sleeping pills. Josh soon becomes addicted to the little blue pills, not so much for the sleep but for the euphoric dream fantasies that they induce, which stand in stark contrast to his drab reality. The central focus of his fantasy is former college sweetheart Kate, whose angelic appearance sends him into a perennial state of swoon. A sinister father figure enters his fantasy world to cast further doubt on Josh's past relationship with Kate. Before long the lines between reality and fantasy, past and present, truth and delusion are blurred for both Josh and the entranced viewer" (Twitch)
Release Date: July 22nd (Limited Run).
Director/writer: Chad Archibald.
Cast: Ryan Barrett, Emily Alatalo, and Jennifer Polansky.
