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

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

TAGLINE: Escaping a nightmare only means you’re still in one.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT: I set out to make a film that would scare myself because I’ve seen a million horror films and I miss that feeling. Jump scares and gore can only hold my attention for so long and as a director those are easier to do and I more interested in producing a midnight movie. I wanted to produce a story my audience can get involved in. When I was a kid I watched a short film called “The Red Balloon” which was made in 1956. It had a profound impact on me. I just remember the film being extremely moody and for some reason it scared me. My 6 year old imagination just ran off somewhere dark. I thought, 'what force is controlling the balloon exactly?' The balloon had this life of its own and I was frightened by the thought that this object could lure this kid, or me...I had a chance to shoot a feature film in a house that my family used to own. I wanted to write a script that was dark but fun to watch. I also wanted to disturb myself a little bit also because I'm a little bit twisted and anything to do with kids and evil forces scare me. I also wanted to say something about relationships, sexual power, dominance and submission, lies and goodbyes. I hope you enjoy the film, it's on Amazon, Tubi and Google Play.
