About the film

The imaginative youth thrillers of the 80s get a Danish overhaul in Sohail A. Hassan's ghost story about high school student Jimmy, who turns out to have a little too much occult ability.

Jimmy is not just a fan of heavy metal, horror and the occult. He has a goal: he wants to get in touch with his dead mother - and he may have the skills to do it. Reluctantly, he and the new boy in class, Amir, impress the two prettiest girls in school with his occult abilities. But unfortunately, in doing so, he also awakens dangerous forces that threaten to kill them all. Sohail A. Hassan pays homage to the adventurous genre films of the 80s with entertaining fantasy and horror, as he has done in his many short films. He won 3 out of 4 awards at PIX's Movie Battle in 2014 and has been working on his debut feature film ever since.
