synopsis
The next generation of horror emerges as director Neil Jordan collaborates with producer Akiva Goldsman to adapt author Joe Hill's novel about an aging rock star whose macabre obsession leads him down a dangerous supernatural path. Upon taking notice of an eBay auction for a purportedly haunted suit, the curious musician immediately places the top bid. When the suit finally arrives, however, the musician quickly realizes just how dangerous it can be to dabble with forces beyond his comprehension. The son of famed horror fiction specialist Stephen King, Joe Hill began writing under an abbreviated version of his birth name in hopes that the quality of his work -- not the pedigree of his surname -- would set him apart from the pack.
