The first trailer for The Shade reveals a chilling supernatural threat that haunts the Beckman family. In this upcoming horror film, Chris Galust, Dylan McTee, and Laura Benanti portray a family grappling with the recent loss of their father.

Directed by Ryan Chipman, making his feature film debut, and produced by David Purdy of Red King Cinema, The Shade promises to deliver a haunting and suspenseful experience. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming horror flick.


The story of The Shade centers on 20-year-old Ryan Beckman (played by Chris Galust), who is struggling to cope with his father's death.

The official synopsis of The Shade read, "The grieving college student struggles to hold his family together as an unspeakable darkness plagues his older brother Jason—a collegiate athlete who has unexpectedly returned home mid-semester. When a mysterious entity begins stalking Ryan, he is forced to confront the dark presence before it destroys what remains of his family.”
