About ‘The Cemetery’:
A team of paranormal investigators must fight for their lives after accidentally releasing a demon from a forgotten cemetery. Alternately gut-punching hilarious and brutally violent, The Cemetery takes the best elements of the old-school slasher film and pushes them to the edge.

Directed by Adam Ahlbrandt (Lionsgates’ SIGHT and Invincible Pictures’ THE BURNT HOUSE), this ghoulish throwback to possession horror movies of the 80’s such as the Evil Dead series is now available on DVD in North America from Massacre Video and in German speaking territories by Illusions Unltd.

The movie has screened at film festivals around the world and has won several awards including including Best Feature, Best Director & Best Actress at the Portage Film Festival (Chicago) and Best Horror Film, Best Use of Violence/Gore, Director’s Showcase Award, and Newcomer Award for Natalie Jean from the Polygrind Film Festival (Las Vegas)

Starring Natalie Jean, J.D. Brown, Adam Huss, Billy Gram, Roberto Lombardi, Ruby LaRocca, Tabetha Ray, Tim Cronin
