‘Nature is a haunted house’
Exposure is a 2018 American supernatural horror feature film edited and directed by Austin Snell from a screenplay co-written with Jake Jackson. The latter also handled the special effects makeup. The Sun Runner Films production stars Carmen Anello, Owen Lawless, Lynn Lowry and Bruce Smith.
Plot:
In an attempt to reconcile the problems in their relationship, Myra (Carmen Anello) and James (Owen Lawless) venture to an isolated cabin in the mountains.
It is there they encounter an ancient evil that haunts the landscape, capable of turning people into deformed monsters. Not only will they be fighting for their relationship, but they will also be fighting for their lives…
Reviews:
“Exposure goes from a dramatic look at a couple’s last chance for happiness to the fiery gates of hell. It becomes an entirely different movie by the time the finale rolls around. See it with someone who can appreciate both romance and monsters…” Indie Horror Online
“The shining moments come through from the performance, albeit brief, from our resident horror legend, Lynn Lowry […] If the film managed to shorten its first half, and introduce us to the crazy moments in its ending earlier, I would be much more satisfied. The near end is great! Some pure, neo-80s cheese, with a hint of good ol’ Cronenberg.” Ian Harvey, Nightmarish Conjurings
