Savannah has always been a hothouse of paranormal activity with a full tourist business built upon its haunted standing, so it’s baffling that there are virtually no horror movies set or shot here.
Luckily, the dearth of locally grown horror has been lectured by actor William Mark McCullough (“Logan Lucky,” “American Made,” “Hillbilly Elegy”) who freshly wrote and directed “A Savannah Haunting,” a suspenseful mystical drama that was not only shot in Savannah but was moved by true events.
I’ve been creating a living as a performer for ten years and I’ve operated several times in Savannah, said McCullough. It surprised me, the number of movies shot in Savannah that stand in as an unlike location, and the fact that I don’t see of any horror picture that is shot in Savannah and uses Savannah as the real location. It just blows me away.
A Savannah Haunting, featuring Gena Shaw, Dean West, Tommi Rose, and Anne Harriette Pittman, is around a mother harassed with guilt over the disastrous death of her daughter. Her family transfers to Savannah from California to leak the terrible memories, but when they are in their original home, the mother has faith that she is being ghostly by her dead daughter.
We’ve been very contented, and I think for me, what I’m most satisfied with is we’ve won quite a few Best Film awards, whipping out straight dramas, said McCullough. Our thespians have won pretty a few, Best Lead Actress, Best Lead Actor, and Best Backup Actor. That is pretty uncommon for a horror film.
Part of the magic of “A Savannah Haunting” is that it was stimulated by and shot in McCullough’s home in Savannah which has knowledgeable decades of paranormal occurrences. McCullough’s father learned about the home in the 1970s. Even though his parents were divorced, and he lived regularly with his mother, McCullough would habitually visit and sojourn with his father.
McCullough left Savannah when he was in high school, appeared in law school in Washington D.C., and followed an acting career in Los Angeles. When he repaid Savannah several years ago, it was the first while he had spent a protracted period in the house since he was a kid, and the knowledge was terrifying.
A Savannah Haunting Movie Trailer
From the trailer, A Savannah Haunting expression is a chilling and poignant mix of the psychological horror of grief and guilt nested within a Southern-Gothic haunted family classic, wide-ranging with the South’s tragic legacy of captivity, voodoo, and magic.
The film follows a long line of pictures based on true proceedings and hauntings, counting The Conjuring franchise, Amityville Horror, and The Blair Witch Project. While horror is in plenty this time of year, no doubt audiences will be strained by this intriguing difference between a classic haunted family tale, as well as its true-life horror motivation.
