After years of post-production due to the limited budget of the movie, the horror film Sator (2019) is finally coming out next month.
In the movie, secluded in a desolate forest home to little more than the decaying remnants of the past, a broken family is further torn apart by a mysterious death. Adam, guided by a pervasive sense of dread, hunts for answers only to learn that they are not alone; an insidious presence by the name of Sator has been observing his family, subtly influencing all of them for years in an attempt to claim them.
The film has been written, directed, produced, edited, scored, and lensed by Jordan Graham. It is his second film after supernatural horror and science-fiction Specter (2012). Michael Daniel, Rachel Johnson, Aurora Lowe, Gabriel Nicholson, June Peterson, and Wendy Taylor form the main cast.
This spectral horror-thriller teases the line between fact and fiction as its core story, of a demon making contact with an intimate family, is inspired by director Jordan Graham’s own life. “Sator is quite personal to me,” says Graham. “It delves into my family’s dark history with mental illness surrounding a supernatural entity, and uses home video footage to create an interwoven piece between documentary and fiction”. For years generations of his family, including his grandmother, have claimed to make contact with a mysterious presence by the name of Sator, and the film features her own haunting accounts of contact.
