The Intervention Selected By Newport Beach Film Festival
Psychological/horror film examines the Horrors of Additions. The Intervention, an independently financed adult horror film produced by Richard Eden, Shannon Hile, and Ted Collins, was shot on 35 mm, in 18 days, in Ojai, California.
Heavily influenced by classic horror films of the 1970's, such as Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now, and The Shining, The Intervention is the story of eight people who have gathered to intervene in the destructive path of addict, Matt Garret. But as the night wears on, what appears to have been an obvious case of alcoholism reveals itself as demonic possession. The dark entity methodically turns the group against each other, taunting them with their deepest secrets.
An actress with credits including The X-Files and Monk, writer/director Shannon Hile, was inspired to do the film in a unique way. "I had been involved in a family member's intervention and it was a horrific experience. I could not imagine the inner demons wreaking havoc in the mind of that person", Hile said. "I felt it would be perfect for a horror film. The genre has a rich film history and was the perfect setting for this story".
Hile collaborated on the screenplay with her actor husband Richard Eden, (TV's Robocop), who stars as Tom Garret, the bother of the possessed man. In keeping with the 70's retro vibe, the film features a number of genre faces, including Dwier Brown, (William Friedkin's The Guardian, Red Dragon), Laurie Prange (Dark Secret of Harvest Home, Night Gallery), Cody McMains (Trailer Park of Terror), Scott Paulin (Cat People) and Kamala Lopez-Dawson (Permanent Vacation). Stephen Edwards (Feast, Children of the Corn), wrote the score. David H. Watkins (The Omen, Alien) did the special effects.
The Intervention is showing at the Edwards Island Cinema, 999 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, Ca 92660, Weds. April 29, 2009 @ 8:30 pm. Tickets go on sale April 1st at www.newportbeachfilmfest.com
