House of Black Wings coming to DVD...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

HOUSE OF BLACK WINGS to be released on DVD on May 31st 2010

Chicago, Illinois – May 3rd, 2010 – Sword & Cloak Productions are proud to announce the official release of its second feature-length movie, HOUSE OF BLACK WINGS on DVD on May 31st, 2010. The movie will initially be available from Amazon.com and through swordandcloak.com. The DVD will contain the 101 minutes feature, as well as a "Making of" Featurette, Wrap Reel, Trailer, Photo Gallery, and Crew Commentary.

About the Movie: After a tragic act of violence cuts short her music career, Kate Stone is returning to a city full of ex-fans and ex-friends. Taking shelter with her last friend, a struggling artist named Robyn Huck, the two women work to restore the aging courtyard apartment building Robyn has inherited. But a terrible secret infests the venerable structure, and soon Kate will be haunted by horrific dreams, sinister apparitions, and the sounds of something moving in the walls. She will be dragged into a confrontation not only with her own dark past, but the unspeakable nightmare that lurks beyond the walls!

House of Black Wings is a character-driven Lovecraftian ghost story. Inspired by the character-driven thrillers of the 70's like Polanski's The Tenant, Don't Look Now, or The Shining. It is a nightmare of urban paranoia, loss of identity, and the blurred line between creativity and madness.

"Equally as creepy as any Roman Polanski vision...a unique effort full of dark flavor. ...this one has something great to offer."

- Horror News

"As poignant as it is oddly paranoiac and featuring fearlessly passionate performances."

- Horror Society

"something unique and special...we were quite impressed with this film."

- Kitley's Krypt

"Takes the time to build a story around our main characters...so when the horror becomes unleashed further we actually care about what happens."

- Horror Yearbook
