About The Absent
The town of Liberty has many secrets but the darkest is hidden between twin brothers. Vincent and Oscar Burton are only 10 years old when Oscar finds out his parents are trying to kill him for insurance money. Oscar takes it in to his own hands to protect himself and his twin.
Directed by Sage Bannick, The Absent leans on a strong ensemble — Bryan Kirkwood, Vanessa Zima, Denny Kirkwood — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2011.
