“Where the terror is child’s play”
An archaeologist is haunted by a nightmare in which his family is murdered.
The debut feature of director Manny Coto (DR. GIGGLES, STAR KID), PLAYROOM follows the increasingly unhinged Chris (played by Christopher McDonald aka Shooter McGavin in a rare leading-man role) as he revisits the archaeology site in search of a mythological place his father was looking for before he was killed.
Is it his imagination, or is something supernatural at work?! Will unaddressed childhood trauma come to a happy conclusion?! Only one way to find out!
Also features niche 90’s child actor Aron Eisenberg (PUPPETMASTER III, HOUSE III, AMITYVILLE: THE EVIL ESCAPES) and the dinosaur pajamas from DON'T PANIC. Don’t miss this!
Sidenote: googling this title pulls up some late-movie moments that are best experienced ice cold, so avoid that if you can!
