A year after his mother passes away, James Duke contemplates doing the one thing she had always forbidden him to do; contact her parents. With temptation too great, the young man visits his grandparents and discovers that although friendly, they are very nervous about his surprise visit. Deciding to stay on for a few days at their eerie run down secluded farmhouse, he gradually uncovers an unspeakably shameful part of his family history that his mother had never revealed. Carefully watched by menacing townspeople, he digs dangerously deep to uncover clues to his disturbing past; old gramophone recordings, disturbing b&w photos, animal (human?) remains and a very unusual patchwork quilt made by tortured hands. Ultimately, he confronts both conspiracy and the heavy burden of truth through his discovery of ghosts from the past.
This mystery-ghost story was inspired by little-known but fascinating historical events involving the hidden burial of imported farm workers in a small border town just north of the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. This modern day tale of historical vengeance will entertain a broad audience as well as inform about an important part of our heritage. In a world of overly familiar films, THE DESCENDANT achieves surprising originality with its shocker ending.
“Fantastic! A film worthy of attention.” (Film Threat)
“A sharp, meticulously crafted work… breaks away from overcooked horror-thriller conventions.” (FANTASIA Film Festival)
“…a cinematic rarity: a genuinely moving chiller… shot in luscious 35mm and showcasing a beautifully melancholic score.” (RUE MORGUE magazine)
