TEXAS CULT HOUSE FEATURE FILM
PROJECT OVERVIEW: Texas Cult House is a feature-length horror film. The story revolves around a group of teen’s exploration of an abandoned compound linked to a now-defunct cult. Raber partnered with Julia Barnett, an Austin-based writer and director, as a co-writer on the story and then later as the Production Designer where he led the film’s art department. Raber created a world of Southern Gothic-tinged religious fanaticism forgotten by time. The film will premiere at Austin Film Festival in October 2024.
PLOT SUMMARY: High school friends party at the abandoned home of a former cult leader and discover a mysterious anointing oil that holds the secret to the cult’s unraveling. Austin, a gay teen, is haunted by childhood trauma, while his mother seeks to redeem the sins of her past.
