A DARKER CHAPTER IN A LONG-RUNNING HORROR LEGACY
Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light takes the long-running Witchcraft franchise into found-footage territory for the first time.
Written by Andrew Pierson and directed by Carissa Pierson, the film follows a paranormal investigation team venturing into the forests of North Carolina to uncover the disturbing secrets of an ancient 1409 manuscript and a sinister organization known as the Children of the Hollow.
Rooted in occult mythology, forbidden rituals, and the Seven Deadly Sins, the story gradually transforms a paranormal investigation into a terrifying fight for survival.
Produced by Deathstalker Productions, the film combines established genre talent with a new generation of independent filmmakers and performers, bringing a fresh approach to a horror franchise that began in 1988.
With Allen Gurley joining the cast as Bruce Meyers, another piece of this dark mystery falls into place.
