In the tradition of Hitchcock comes a new phycological thriller rom the producers of Lazarus: Apocalypse comes
THE EMERGING PAST Director’s Cut.
LOS ANGELES: Writer/Director and former Queens New York resident Thomas J. Churchill readies to release his film “The Emerging Past”. Churchill is very proud to finally unleash his true vision to all horror fans, “Call it a Director’s Cut. Call it a Recut. I call it pure horror, the way the film was meant to be. Horror fans should prepare for this somewhere along the lines of “The Exorcist” meets “The Shining.”
Church Hill Productions/Apothecary Entertainment, the company behind the upcoming retro Zombie film LAZARUS APOCALYPSE will unleash the WORLD PREMIER at The New York City International Film Festival on May 1st at the Prestigious Anthology Film Archives on 32 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003 / (212) 505-5181. Tickets can be purchased on the NYCIFF website https://www.nyciff.com/the-merging-past-2015 or at the door.
The EMERGING PAST will include a brand new story arc, never before scene footage, new style that gives the film a more thrilling and compelling vibe. It’s darker, edgier, scarier and most of all a true horror film. Insiders are stating “It looks like a Blumhouse studio film.” The film will also carry a new haunting score in the tradition of classic Hollywood films again performed by Jon Brunner (Lazarus Apocalypse).
The new soundtrack is sure to please music lovers with all new songs from recording artists
“Sugar” Parks and The Massacre, and Mike Pacheco of the MP Project (who will also be opening up for Quiet Riot on May 3 in New York). The soundtrack will be distributed by Apothecary Entertainment later this year.
Previously a festival/preview version had a small release as it became a fan favorite at conventions and festivals, winning 6 awards as it played the circuit racking up two Best Pictures, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Song, Best Trailer awards. But, Churchill was never satisfied with that version. Taking a cue from George Lucas, Churchill insists “That version is now a collector’s item; never to be released again ever.”
Synopsis: When you can’t see the future you need to live for the past. Murder and mayhem surround Queens New York Tribune photographer, Pamela Garret (played by Krista Grotte, Lazarus Apocalypse, Hershel Gordon Lewis’ The Uh-Oh Show, Brainjacked) after she is discovered taking a life altering picture of a sacrifice ritual. Her world suddenly becomes a jigsaw puzzle as she quickly needs to solve it and find somewhere safe to hide before her emerging past catches up with her. With no where to go, she turns to her coworker Dylan (played by Brooke McCarter, The Lost Boys, Trashin, The Uh-Oh Show) for help. As stress levels rise in her search for the truth her coworker spins the game into another level as he reveals just who he really is. As she soon realizes that the past is never where you left it…
The film was shot all over Churchill’s former Queens neighborhoods of Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village and even in Levittown, New York. Even his former parish Saint Matthias has a featured role in this thriller.
This film also stars horror icon Stephen Geoffreys (LAZARUS APOCALYPSE, Fright Night, 976-Evil, Heaven Help Us, At Close Range), Steve Dash (Friday the 13th Part 2, Nighthawks, Alone in the Dark), Edward X. Young (Sea of Dust, The Green Monster), Tony Moran (John Carpenter’s Halloween, BEG), Mike Marino (Sleepless Nights, Lazarus Apocalypse) and Ray Capuana (Lazarus Apocalypse).
