A 2018 Canadian mockumentary horror film written and directed by David Amito and Michael Laicini. The film is divided into two parts: an opening and closing frame narrative in the form of a mockumentary and a feature film. The documentary purports to tell the story of Antrum, a movie released in the late 70s that supposedly has deleterious effects on those who watch it; the bulk of the movie is allegedly the only known print of the film, which has itself been altered by an unknown third party.
Ironically, American child actor Rowan Smyth previously starred in the Christian film I Believe (2017) before making this film about a boy who tries to find his way into hell.
For Antrum's occult aspects, directors David Amito and Michael Laicini studied various historical and cultural depictions of demons and the devil for inspiration, with their shared interests in religious imagery and the supernatural also factoring into the development of the film's script. Most of the symbols and runes depicted in the film were taken from a 17th Century text called Lesser Key of Solomon.
Antrum made its world premiere at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival on 14 October 2018, and was screened at other film festivals, where it was nominated for several awards.
Scenes involving Nicole Tompkins' and Rowen Smyth's characters were filmed in a one-hundred acre, privately owned forest, where the filmmakers had been granted special permission to shoot.
