The Sacrifice (2005 film)

"The Sacrifice" is an independent film by James Fessenden that was first shown at Gaylaxicon in 2005. It is a horror/psychological thriller that centers on a high school boy who becomes embroiled in an occult mystery in a quiet New Hampshire town.

Plot

Three years after the death of his father, 16-year-old Jonathan Kelly (played by Robert Kersey) is still depressed and withdrawn. When he moves with his mother to the small New Hampshire town of Dunkirk, he is immediately drawn to David (David Snyder), a boy who shares his interest in the occult.

But when the boys try to satisfy their curiosity about a local ghost story, they discover that somebody is digging up graves in the oldest part of the cemetery, collecting human remains for a dark ritual.

The plot then revolves around the two boys' exploration of the town's surprisingly dark history while the ritual (and planned human sacrifice) approaches.

Trivia

* The scene where Jonathan and David kiss was added after the first viewings of the film, by popular demand. Previously, the attraction between the two was only implied.
* Much of the film was shot in and around Dover, New Hampshire and Derry, New Hampshire
