LANCASTER — Paul has a problem — his father-in-law hates him. His wife, Lily, is caught in the middle, even after her father’s death. And that’s when things start to get weird.
That is the premise behind “Cruel Will,” an independent psychological horror film co-starring Lancaster native Arron Kinser, with Arthur Romeo directing. Kinser plays Paul and Marissa Pistone portrays Lily.
The film is set for an April 2 release on Netflix and in video stores. It also will be available for sale online and at some department stores and portable DVD outlets. The movie is presented by Larsen Bay Entertainment, the production company the 30-year-old Kinser owns in Long Beach, Calif.
“We actually got the idea for the movie seven years ago,” Kinser said. “We started filming it about a year and half ago, with post-production work going on for the past 12 months.”
Because of the $100,000 budget, the original script had only four or five actors and used just a couple locations. However, the script expanded as work on the film continued.
“This is the first film that I’ve been this much involved in,” Kinser said. “I wasn’t working the first day of production, but I came in anyway and took everything in. The second day was my first day as an actor, and my first three days were the hardest because I shot a lot of struggling scenes. I went right into the tough scenes.”
Kinser credits director Kevin Smith with helping get him started in his film career. Kinser worked on the set of the Smith film, “Clerks 2,” and is friends with Smith’s mother-in-law. He said the first “Clerks,” about bumbling New Jersey convenience store clerks, was one of his favorite movies growing up.
Kinser graduated from Teays Valley High School and produced educational videos his senior year. After graduation, he went to California. He also spent time as a child in Ashville and Canal Winchester.
Although he didn’t want to give too many details, Kinser said his next film will go into production in 2014 and will have a $1.2 million budget. But before that, he plans to visit family in the Lancaster area and plans to attend two showings of “Cruel Will” in Columbus.
