To promote the Digital HD release in the US of the The House: The Awakening of Evil, Warner Bros has released online the first ten minutes of the film (you can find the video at the bottom of the article). The physical home video release, on the other hand, is scheduled for late June.
Written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in The Ground), The House: The Awakening of Evil is the fifth and final chapter in the horror saga The House.
The film arrived in theaters in April grossing over $115 million worldwide against a budget of about $15 million.
The House: The Awakening of Evil is produced by Sam Raimi, the creator of the famous franchise, along with longtime partner Robert Tapert and his friend Bruce Campbell, the actor who played Ash Williams in the famous franchise Evil Dead.
The story features Beth, a girl visiting her older sister Ellie, who is raising three children alone in a small apartment in Los Angeles. The affectionate atmosphere generated by the sisterly reunion is interrupted by the discovery of a mysterious book in the very building where Ellie lives. It is the Necronomicon, a dangerous text containing rituals for summoning demons and which will force Beth to fight a battle for survival.
The cast includes Alyssa Sutherland, Lily Sullivan, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher, Jayden Daniels, Gabrielle Echols, Billy Reynolds-McCarthy and Tai Wano.
Below are the first ten minutes of the film:
