Reel Nightmare Films has announced the February 14th USA VOD release of Tokoloshe: An African Curse, “an intriguing & atmospheric new horror feature with plenty of scares and high production value.” Says Armand Petrikowski, Head of Operations of the horror/thriller distributor.
Based on the legend of the Tokoloshe, an urban myth that has terrified Africa in a similar way Americans fear the Boogeyman; the Tokoloshe is a sinister creature that haunts people’s dreams and possesses them to commit evil acts.
The film’s synopsis: A novelist pressured for a new hit travels with his family to an abandoned hotel in South Africa, unaware that it’s haunted by a demon known as the Tokoloshe. When the writer becomes possessed and begins terrorizing his family, a young woman experiencing supernatural visions linked to the hotel sets out to help the family and defeat the African boogeyman: the Tokoloshe.
