Heart and Fire Productions and Spirit Reckoning LLC has attached iconic actor Sean Patrick Flanery of The Boondock Saints and Lew Temple from Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects to their upcoming film Spirit Reckoning. In this horror-western epic, Sean will play gunfighter Lawson Lovette whose psychotic tendencies and skills with a revolver make him the perfect candidate to aid our hero Sam Conley AKA The Skull Cowboy on his blood-soaked journey of revenge.
While Lew Temple will play Ottis Clement who is just as crazed as Lawson, sparking an intense rivalry between the two men. Ottis causes chaos and anarchy in the Wild West alongside his brother Ed and leader of their posse Savage Bill.
Synopsis for Spirit Reckoning
Takes place in circa 1875, and tells the story of Sam Conley, a farmer with a wicked gambling addiction trying to make ends meet for his family. Upon returning home, Sam is killed by some petty outlaws alongside his wife and child. To return the favor on a good deed Sam did for the Indian people, a Shaman brings Sam’s spirit back from the dead as an avenging skull cowboy.
However, this comes with its set of side effects as Sam’s emotions intensify making him feel rage more extreme and sadness more deep than the normal person, which brings humility to Sam much like Frankenstein’s Monster.
From writer-director Jimmy Lee Combs, comes a wild ride, that combines the elements of horror with the setting of a Western, seeing the protagonist go on a high octane, bullet-trenched, blood-soaked revenge spree. Who will prevail?
Spirit Reckoning is eyeing a 2020 release. We will continue to post updates as they come so stay tuned for more horror news!
