Welcome Home

I love haunted house flicks. Sometimes it’s nice to trade in the gratuitous violence and gore for good ol’ fashioned tension and suspense.Unfortunately, the haunted house subgenre has started to recycle itself every bit as much as found footage and slasher films. But there’s always a silver lining to this sort of self-cannibalism. Filmmakers have to get creative and take on something that steps outside the box. That’s exactly what the Kondelik Brothers appear to be doing with Behind the Walls.

The Kondelik Brothers, Jon and James, are set to direct their first film in the horror genre. Behind the Walls takes a different look at the haunted house sub-genre by looking at events from the perspective of the home. Currently in post-production, Behind the Walls stars: Vanessa Angel (“Weird Science”), Hutch Dano (Zombeavers, 2014), Reggie Lee (NBC’s “GRIMM”), Lew Temple (AMC’s “The Walking Dead”) and Bailey Spry (It Follows, 2014). This experienced horror cast will bring true terror to the screen later this year.

Behind the Walls marks their first film under the twin brothers’ Dual Visions banner with more to come on their slate. “We aim to put a new spin on a familiar genre,” says James Kondelik, “bringing the audience into a new head space.” Jon Kondelik added: “We’ve often referred to this film as ‘Intimate Horror.’ Whereas, everything from the pacing, to the performances and tone feels very personal.”

We’ll have a trailer to share with you soon. Until then, these official images and synopsis should hold you over. Stay tuned.

Years it has waited. Now, someone has moved in. Through the eyes of the evil within, we witness a broken family desperately seeking a new beginning, in a new home. But this house lives, watches and wants them to stay-FOREVER.”
