Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #169. Jaffe Zinn’s Children

Date:

Children

Director: Jaffe Zinn
Writer: Jaffe Zinn
Producers: Jaffe and Stephanie Zinn, Sterling Hoch
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Kate Lyn Sheil, Samantha Jacober

Jaffe Zinn blasted onto the film fest circuit scene with 2011′s Magic Valley and is following up the mystery set in Idaho with a micro-budgeted horror thriller film set in the same backyard (state). We’re big fans of Kate Lyn Sheil and think that Children oozes with Take Shelter-like potential (where natural surroundings aid in the human havoc).

Gist: During a hazy summer filled with the smoke of distant wild fires, Abbie (Samantha Jacober) & Heidi (Kate Lyn Sheil) take a camping trip through the rugged mountains of Southern Idaho. Convinced that they are living in the end times as prophesied in the book of Revelations, Abbie sets about completing a terrible task she believes bestowed upon her in preparation for the coming Rapture.

Release Date: We were thinking Sundance and an outside shot for SXSW, now we are thinking a definite Euro-debut.
