Movie will Detail a Murder Mystery in Hartland, N.Y. in 2010
White Lion Studios Inc., a local film and production company, will be releasing the world premiere of its newest film: “Wolf House” at 9:30 p.m. on April 15, at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda.
The film is a “found footage” movie detailing a mysterious murder spree in which six friends go missing while on a camping trip in Hartland, N.Y. Cameras found on the scene of the crime show the graphic details of what happened to these campers. The film is a part of the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival.
The synopsis of the film is as follows: “In October 2010, six friends went on a camping trip in Hartland, N.Y. They were never heard from again. Footage recovered at the site of the murders has been pieced together to show the last terrifying hours of their lives.” A producer for the film, Ken Cosentino, commented on the film “the film promises monsters and lots of scares, there’s also a certain level of deep emotion being portrayed by those in the film. It will scare the living daylights out of you and tug on your heartstrings.”
The film will premiere at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday April 15 at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda. The theater can be found at 67 Webster Street. Tickets are priced $10 for general admission and $5 for students, seniors, and veterans.
