Evil awaits.
Amhurst" is a supernatural thriller/horror film that's best described as; "The Amityville Horror" meets "The Shining." After the death of her abusive grandfather, Rebecca Cabot (Amy Tiehel) returns to her childhood home where the ghosts of a past long buried are about to be resurrected. Accompanying Rebecca on the trip, are her children, 13-year-old Jessie (Stephanie Hullar) and 12-year-old Alex (Alec Hogan). She plans only to stay long enough to bury her grandfather and to settle his estate, when almost immediately the family experiences strange events. Phones don't work, the house has a strange odor, the townsfolk are distant and eerily standoffish, the children grow increasingly unhappy and withdrawn, and Rebecca is plagued by nightmares of her missing sister. And things get worse from there. Rebecca's one saving grace is a man by the name of Owen Miller (Jesse Buschini) whom she first encounters on the drive up when she sees him hitchhiking on the side of the road. Turns out, he also grew up in town and knows of her family. Together they try to unravel the mystery of what is really going on. Is grandpa Barnes back from the dead? Are Rebecca's frightening nightmares a warning from her dead twin sister? Or is there something else behind the strange happenings?
