Heather Graham Stars in H.P. Lovecraft-Inspired Erotic Body-Swapping Horror Film
Heather Graham has just wrapped up shooting a new untitled H.P. Lovecraft horror film. She stars in the film alongside Judah Lewis (The Babysitter), Bruce Davison (X-Men), Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do!), and scream queen Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator).
The film is based on Lovecraft’s short story The Thing On The Doorstep, and the story is described as “an erotic body-swapping horror, in which a psychiatrist played by Graham becomes obsessed with a young client with multiple personalities.”
The film was directed by Joe Lynch (Mayhem) and the script was written by Dennis Paoli, who wrote the screenplays for Lovecraft adaptations Re-Animator and From Beyond. The film project was shot in Mississippi.
Barbara Crampton said in a statement: “We’ve been so fortunate to work with top talent both behind and in front of the camera on our recent films. At Amp it’s about developing not only memorable, thought-provoking material for an audience, but also fresh and unusual enough to attract the very best creative collaborators. I was ecstatic when first the formidable Joe Lynch, then Heather Graham signed on – her natural charm is always in evidence, but we get to see a different untapped side of her abilities here. I’ve been thrilled to be invited to join seasoned pros at Amp, and we are only getting started.”
Joe Lynch added: “When I read Dennis Paoli’s adaptation of the story, I felt like there was a fantastic opportunity to update and subvert Lovecraft’s often old-fashioned sensibilities in a way that felt modern, relevant and even dangerous, with a pinch of 90’s neo-noir and a dash of eroticism to spice up the stew. Working with Amp and such a fantastic cast – including Heather, Judah, Barbara, Bruce and Johnathon – we’re so excited that this sexy, funny, scary film isn’t just a modernized love letter to Lovecraft, but the kind of provocatively entertaining “sin-ema” I believe audiences are salivating for!”
This sounds like an intriguing film! I’m a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan, so it’ll be interesting to see how this movie turns out!
