SYDNEY:\u00a0The Australian made supernatural award winning horror movie \u2018Muirhouse\u2019 this week committed to their promise and screened the film to residents of Junee, NSW; the location of the film.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was an amazing night\u2019 Tanzeal Rahim, Writer and Director of \u2018Muirhouse\u2019 comments \u2018it was always our intention to showcase the film to the residents of Junee as a thank you for hosting the cast and crew during filming.\u00a0\u00a0We were so thrilled with the reaction from the residents who turned out in droves for the screening with standing room only! I am personally grateful that with the support of the Junee Council and the Trustees of The Athenium we were able to hold this event\u2019.<\/p>\n
In the tradition of films like \u2018The Blair Witch Project\u2019 and \u2018Paranormal Activity\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Muirhouse\u2019 is a documentary style film set in Australia\u2019s most haunted house; the Monte Cristo Homestead and is based on the actual happenings at the house.<\/p>\n
Stars of the film were in attendance including lead actor Iain PF McDonald who plays Philip Muirhouse; a ghost hunter who finds himself alone in the house; and the frightening events of that night are recorded in real time by camera and audio devices; taking the audience on a suspenseful, nail biting ride!<\/p>\n
\u2018When they told me we would be returning to Junee for this screening I was very excited and made sure I could be there and part of the event\u2019 says Iain \u2018my only hesitation was if we were staying at the Monte Christo Homestead! Don\u2019t get me wrong, it is an amazing place but lets put it this way; staying there during the filming of the movie made me a believer!\u2019<\/p>\n
Muirhouse has had a run of success over the last few months with screening to a packed audience in Cannes and winning \u2018Best Foreign Feature Film\u2019 at last months Fright Night Film Festival in the USA.<\/p>\n
