News History of Evil History of Evil Trailer Proves That Even Sci-Fi Dystopias Can’t Escape Haunted Houses Can the Dyer family survive a not-so-safe house? By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 1‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Looking for a haunted house story set in a near-dystopian-future? If so‚ History of Evil has got you covered. The horror movie stars Paul Wesley (a.k.a. Captain Kirk in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds)‚ Jackie Cruz (Orange Is the New Black)‚ the young Murphee Bloom (Hit Man)‚ and Rhonda Johnson Dents (Renfield)‚ and centers on a family hiding in a safe house in the woods that is also‚ apparently‚ haunted! Here’s the official synopsis: In the near future‚ war and corruption have plagued America and turned it into a theocratic police state. Against the oppression‚ ordinary citizens have formed a group called The Resistance. One such member‚ Alegre Dyer‚ breaks out of political prison and reunites with her husband Ron and daughter Daria. On the run from the militia‚ the family takes shelter in a remote safe house. But their journey is far from over‚ as the house’s dark past begins to eat away at Ron‚ and his earnest desire to keep his family safe is overtaken by something much more sinister. The mashup of a sci-fi-esque dystopia with the haunted house trope is an interesting one‚ and the trailer below suggests that both factors will feed into the horrors that the poor Dyer family face. We’ll have to see how they fare (it’s never a good sign‚ however‚ when a small child sees another small child who just… isn’t there) when the movie becomes available for our viewing pleasure. History of Evil is the feature debut for writer-director Bo Mirhosseni. It will be available to stream on Shudder starting February 23‚ 2024.
