Christopher Wells and Brian Burg presents The Luring, an unsettling psychological thriller set in Vermont. Produced by Christopher Wells and Brian Berg.

LONGLINE: A man tries to recover a lost memory by returning to his family’s Vermont vacation home where an unspeakable act took place.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT: When I was a kid I watched a short film called “The Red Balloon” which was made in 1956 and it had a profound impact on me. I just remember it being extremely moody and for some reason it kind of scared me. When I got the opportunity to write and direct my own film I drew from that short film and incorporated it into “The Luring.” That’s the origin of my balloon.

The difference between a psychological thriller and a horror film is the depth of story and character development.

“Often viewers expect thriller films to bear the greater substance and have a better plot. Usually, you are left to guess the antagonist from start to end. On the contrary, most horror films are basically predictable. You’ll immediately have an idea of what’s going to happen next. - DifferenceBetween.net

For me this is the kind of film I wanted to make because they stay with me. They make me think and create discussion. They warrent a second look and everytime you watch “The Luring” you’ll pick on something you may have missed the first time. There are layers and that’s what makes “The Luring” an interesting watch.

“The Luring” is in talks with distributors for its second run. The Luring was available on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Youtube Movies, Xbox, Comcast, Vudu, Cox, InDemand, Dish, Direct TV, Spectrum, Fandango, Verizon Fios and Shaw (Canada) among others.
