SAINT JUNIPER'S FOLLY

Giordan Diaz, Mark Sanderlin, and Victoria Villarreal balance the high-energy emotions of young love with gut-wrenching fear in this coming-of-age thriller. When Jaime is trapped in a dilapidated house that is haunted by an overprotective spirit, he resigns himself to the end--that is, until Theo and Taylor are drawn to the house. For Theo, meeting Jaime is a chance to do something uncharacteristically bold. For Taylor, it's an opportunity to unearth magical family secrets. The three form a fast bond and work together to free Jaime from the ghost's clutches. While Diaz and Sanderlin deftly navigate the emotional ups and downs of budding queer love, Villarreal's performance anchors the story, bringing depth to an otherwise light plot.
