The film is based on the terrifying real life experiences of Lisa Brewer, who, as a young girl, saw her father murdered in her family home. Investigators pinned the murder on a hulking drifter named Jeremiah. But many Vermonters doubted Jeremiahs guilt and attributed the "house of shadows" slaying to the supernatural. Now, as filming begins where the crime actually occurred, the real Lisa, 19 years old, emerges to witness the cinematic resurrection of the events of a decade earlier. Immediately, the rational world and the supernatural world clash. Bizarre deaths stymie the production. Lisa, Forbes, and the entire cast and crew of House of Shadows quickly confront the consequences of perpetuating a sanitized version of what really happened.

House of Shadows creates a new mythology in the horror genre. It is unlike any single film that has preceded it. It is a story within a story within a story. Original, witty, cocky, intelligent and mean-edged, House of Shadows delivers the goods as an in-your-face horror epic, but also plays homage to the giants of the psychological terror --- from Wes Craven and John Carpenter to Vincent Price and even to William Shakespeare. Yet it also delivers the thrills, laughs, frights and mandatory body count. A hot young cast is supported by a team of older professionals, creating an entertainment ideal for Generations X, Y and even Z.
