A dark look at Wisconsin history

"Wisconsin has more hauntings per square mile then any other state".

And so "The Legend Trip" explores this statement to great effect. Director Jason Satterfield's film looks into the history of a single house besieged by unthinkable misery and horrific events. The story, written by Sara Bulle, Steven Lentz and Nick Firer weaves it's allure through more then a century of misfortunes and asks the question: "Can evil manifest itself and lay dormant in one particular place?"

Satterfield paints a gloomy picture, very reminiscent to the style of David Lynch. The film's visual prowess shows the passage of time through shadows of black and white, and the grainy color textures of the 1970's. Each presenting a different chain of unspeakable events. The film stars Mark Metcalf of "Animal House" fame as an ex-priest haunted by a demonic vision, and now confined to a mental institution. An unsuspecting group of grad students decide to base their thesis on the legendary house and find out what is lurking in the darkness... the hard way. With stand out performances by Benjamin Keepers, and a rather amusing turn by writer/actor Nick Firer, the ensemble cast sells the horror in convincing fashion. Never light on the (Gore-Factor), "The Legend Trip" delights fans of the genre with cannibalism, self mutilation and extremely graphic torture scenes like you've never seen on film before. All set to a spine tingling musical score and vivid cinematography... Certain to entertain Independent Horror fans abroad, "The Legend Trip" answers it's own questions with barbed-wire, entrails and all things that go bump in the night.
