“A well-sustained, creepy psychological drama.”—Los Angeles Times
A frigid, angry widow plans a modeling career for her 17-year-old daughter Naya. Naya, haunted by visions of her dead father, resorts to bleeding herself with leeches to soothe her anguish. Into this fraught household comes Vince, a handsome young gardener whose sexuality drives a wedge between mother and daughter. The White Horse Is Dead is a creepy and sexually-charged indie drama, from debuting filmmaker Pete Red Sky.
