Would you kill to make a movie? The scary thing is, two independent filmmakers did.
Through Hike: A Ghost Story was supposed to be the directorial debut of writer/director Blaine Norris. His film ended up being the catalyst to murder.
Through Hike is the story of 5 college friends who attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. However, when the hikers reach an abandoned Pennsylvania coal-mining town, they inadvertently release the ghost of an 1800s coal-mining baron. That night their trip turns into a nightmare as each of the hikers is systematically hunted down and killed.
At 8:29 p.m. on January 10, 2003 police in Camp Hill, PA received a frantic 911 call from Brian Trimble. He had just returned home from dinner with a friend and found his wife, Randi, in a pool of blood on the garage floor, beaten, strangled, and stabbed.
The house looked as though it was burglarized before the brutal murder occured. Suspicions immediately arose in the seasoned detectives investigating the case. Evidence pointed towards the husband, but his alibi was airtight.
For the next 9 months detectives and law enforcement officials used every tool at their disposal to solve this truly bizarre crime.
Rough Cut is a feature length documentary that explores the twisted true tale of two first-time filmmakers who had a dream of making a horror movie and the bizarre events that followed.
