A Thrilling Ghost Story from Absentia Comes to Digital July 1st Through Phase 4 Films

Absentia is a ghost story from director Mike Flanagan, which has received praise from many film critics. Toby McCasker at Fangoria has called the film disturbing and terrifying and now, Phase 4 Films will be making this title available through a video-on-demand feature July 1st, 2011. As a sidebar, why is this format called video-on-demand, when the delivery comes via digital? The film industry continues to mystify this reviewer. Meanwhile, a wife tries to move on from her unhappy marriage, as her husband has been missing for seven years. Are those strange sounds coming from a recess in Tricia's backyard her husband saying goodbye, or something much more sinister? Fans will have to watch this film July 1st to find out, when Absentia becomes available through various cable providers.

The synopsis for Absentia is here:

As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, she comes to the realization that his presumed death might be anything but 'natural.'
