Altergeist is Coming to DirectTV This October

Shock received word that the supernatural thriller Altergeist is specifically hitting DirectTV only on October 9th. Earlier this year, the film tried a “demand it” campaign to bring the film to theaters, but I did not hear whether that was a success or not. I’m not sure why this film is having a hard time getting a proper distribution. It’s pretty slick and comes across like a Dark Castle film (akin to Thirteen Ghosts or The House on Haunted Hill).

Directed by Tedi Sarafian, Altergeist stars Kristina Anapau (True Blood), Brendan Fletcher (Freddy vs. Jason) and Sarah Oh. You can check out a trailer here.

Synopsis: With a long history of bizarre deaths and strange phenomena, King’s Ransom Winery is widely considered one of the most haunted places in North America. Led by Theresa Augland, a group of six paranormal investigators conducting a search for evidence of the other side begin to witness strange happenings. As long-buried memories and deep-seated fears bubble to the surface, they are terrified to learn that even the winery’s ghosts fear the truly sinister presence that has haunted the family estate for generations…
