Have you seen the poster? We’re filled with spooky thrills after reading the tag line, “When you call out to spirits, something else might answer!”

As we previously mentioned, Risk is part of the ensemble cast, which includes Ellie Church, Jett Bryant and Kelsey Carlisle, of Amazon Hot Box. Available for pre-order and other exclusives, Amazon Hot Box mixes action, dark comedy, 70s Italian horror and a must-see array of strong female characters.So we’re happy to hear she has joined up with her crew of Cinematographer/Editor Jordan Barnes-Crouse ( Ghost Can) and Producer/Production Designer Topher Graham (The Man in the Rabbit Mask); with additional support from Selena Raskin, Ben Gammound, and Burns the Dragon.
