LevelK at SXSW
At this years SXSW, our Swedish horror THE HOME is selected and will world premiere in the Midnighter section.
Synopsis: Twenty years after leaving the small town behind to pursue his dreams, Joel returns to care for his mother Monika, who has been moved into Pineshade, a home for the elderly struggling with dementia and Alzheimer’s. However, Monika’s health takes a turn for the worse soon after her arrival. She experiences terrifying visions of her late husband, Joel’s abusive father, and begins exhibiting violent behavior. Joel begins to believe that something malevolent and supernatural has taken control of his mother. But with his own history of substance abuse and mental instability, can he trust his own perceptions? As Monika’s memories fade, Joel must confront the demons of his own past, dredged up by his return to the childhood home where he grew up. Joel’s childhood friend Nina, who he hasn’t seen since their high school breakup, now works at Pineshade and becomes embroiled in Joel’s search for answers. But as the lines between reality and fantasy blur, both Joel and Nina find themselves questioning what is real and what is not. Is Joel trying to save his mother - or himself?
