The population of Chesterton just grew by one. Crimson Matthews, so fresh from the joint you can still see the cuff marks, just dropped his hitch-hiking boots onto Main Street. His car bomb temper has left a trail of shattered windows and broken jaws but Crimson is ready for a fresh start… perhaps wishful thinking considering his weakness for women in trouble.
Chesterton, however, could be a challenge. A ghost of a town since the mine shut down, Chesterton takes care of its own, and Crimson, with his glare and web of tattoos, is definitely an outsider. Then, Father John, guardian of the town's hopes, who owns a dilapidated property on Penance Lane, extends a kindly hand and offers Crimson the job as handyman. Crimson eyes the once-beautiful estate and realizes this is a second chance for the both of them.
But when Crimson uncovers something hidden and long-buried within the walls of Penance Lane he unleashes a world of dark secrets and violent intent. With the threat of being dragged into its hellish depths, will Crimson finally learn when to walk away? Or will he drag the town of Chesterton into this nightmare prison greater than anything he's ever known or even imagined?

PENANCE LANE has traditional financial backers
in place, but the team behind the film is excited to add an interactive element
to the production process with this campaign, which also serves to secure the
final funding to cross the finish line. Your contributions and sharing not only
get you great perks, including everything from signed merch to behind the
scenes access to screen-worn costumes, but you have the opportunity to be on
set, and even on screen, as part of the shoot itself. You are not just helping
us make the film, you are helping make
the film.
Mane Entertainment
PENANCE LANE, written by Munier Sharrieff (BATTLE CHASERS, BATTLE OF THE PLANETS) is the second motion picture from Mane
Entertainment, the production house founded by Tyler Mane and Renae Geerlings
with the goal of creating cutting edge genre-spanning entertainment. Mane knows
this territory well, having followed his iconic performances in X-MEN, SCORPION KING, and TROY with memorable turns as Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s juggernaut HALLOWEEN films.
Geerlings is also well versed in multi-genre material, coming from a fifteen-year
background in comics at Top Cow (WANTED, TOMB RAIDER, THE DARKNESS), Radical (OBLIVION, HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS), and the new IDW imprint, Darby Pop Publishing, as well as having appeared
in HALLOWEEN II with her masked husband.
Mane Entertainment’s first film, COMPOUND FRACTURE,
just secured domestic distribution (details coming on Monday!) after many
months on the road, where it thrilled audiences with a unique interactive
experience hosted by its creators. The film, which also stars Muse Watson (I
KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER), Leslie Easterbrook (DEVIL'S REJECTS), and Derek
Mears (FRIDAY THE 13th) continues to be met with rousing reviews,
described as, “Brilliant,” (Truly Disturbing), “An interesting character
study,” (The Examiner), and, “A fantastic little supernatural revenge tale,”
(Dread Central).
