EXCLUSIVE: Sasha Frolova (The Empty Man), Xander Berkeley (The Walking Dead), Kimball Farley (The Righteous Gemstones) and Toby Poser (The Fall of the House of Usher) have joined Mia Vallet in Recluse, a horror-thriller marking the feature debut of writer-director Henry Chaisson (Antlers).
Recluse tells the story of Joan, a solitary audio engineer who returns to her family’s decaying country estate after receiving a call from her ailing father, an acclaimed but reclusive artist rumored to have dabbled in the occult. Unearthing a malevolent secret decades in the making, Joan must determine whether the horrors she faces are the product of her father’s misdeeds or her own troubled mind.
