The hero next enters the scene and throws his healing potions on them. Unfortunately, the cure fails, and Mises is forced to shoot each of them.
Osborne said he hopes to finish the film by the end of this year. He is interested in a pre-release screening at the college.
Senior Henry Arnn and Hillsdale Academy graduate Chris Blackstock - the son of Provost Bob Blackstock - were also involved in a recent indie horror film. Matthew Gelzer, a Hillsdale native and University of Michigan graduate, directed the film.
The movie, tentatively titled "Kin," tells the story of two cousins who return to a family home after a relative dies. Through a series of events, they discover a horrifying secret and in the process wake the angry spirits of their murdered relatives.
Gelzer said he drew inspiration for the film from the town of Hillsdale itself. Once a prosperous community, he said he has seen it fall into decay during his lifetime.
Although he has seen a slight turn around recently, he said the town is trapped between its past and future selves, thus feeling strange to him.
Gelzer hopes to release the film in February. He also said he would like to arrange a showing of the film at Hillsdale.
