HorrorFuel.com Talks With The Director And The Star Of ‘The Kindred’

After watching the new indie horror film The Kindred (review), I sat down to talk with its director Jamie Patterson and April Pearson, because I had to learn more about this terrific, dark, and disturbing film that follows a woman (Pearson) suffering from amnesia who pieces together the events that led to her father’s suicide, only to be haunted by the ghosts of children that she begins to suspect were murdered. Pearson not only gives an incredible performance as the lead actress, Helen, but she also serves as executive producer for The Kindred along with Patterson. Kelli M. McNeely: “I have to tell you, I loved The Kindred. I used words like “fantastic” more than once in my review. I rarely get this excited about a film these days.” April: “Thank you.” Jamie: “Oh, that’s really good. It would have been really awkward if you thought it was terrible and you were like, ‘I hate your film.’ [laughter].” Kelli M.

Movie Review: ‘The Kindred’ Is A Haunting Horror Film You Need To See

What’s worse than having your father commit suicide right in front of you? Not knowing why. Moments after waking from a coma Helen (April Pearson) is hit with the news that she has been out for over a year, her father is dead, and that she delivered a baby all while in a coma. The moment she arrives home, she sets out to learn the truth behind her father’s death, not knowing that ghosts from his past would return to haunt her. I had no expectations when I began watching The Kindred, but what I discovered is a damn fine film. From the beginning to the end it is intense, and the story is fresh. As the film plays out, we get so many surprising twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat. April is absolutely incredible, and it’s easy to tell that she put her whole heart into her role. What we get is a
