Robert Wainwright, a former president of the United States, finds himself haunted by nightmares of an intruder in his remote vacation home. Wainwright now lives in retirement at Shadow Land Ranch, guarded by the Secret Service but longing for peace of mind. When the dreams grow disturbingly vivid and fears of fading memory escalate, those close to Wainwright call in help. Psychologist Elliot Davrow and journalist Rachel Donnelly arrive, though neither comes entirely free of their own ghosts from the past.
Davrow strives to analyze Wainwright’s dreams and allay his fears, knowing pressure from past decisions that still linger heavily. Donnelly takes up assisting the memoir Wainwright pens, forced to bury feelings revived by seeing Davrow, her former love, once more. As Wainwright’s panic rises with each nightmare, more realize something troubling may stalk the ranch’s woods. But what, or who, remains a deepening mystery. Director James Bamford...

Somebody seems to have a lot of faith in director James Bamford. After years of working as a stuntman and directing episodes of mostly DC Comics-related TV shows, Hard Home is his fourth film to see release this year. The fact that the previous three, Air Force One Down, Jade, and Shadow Land left a lot to be desired is, of course, another matter.
Here he’s working from a script by Mark Shea Price, whose previous credits consist of shorts such as The Mayans Were Right and Raised by Fish. It opens with Mary jogging through the woods and attracting the attention of a Polaroid-wielding psycho when she stops to check out an old cemetery.
He shrugs off being maced, but just as he’s about to kill her,...

Actor Jon Voight recounted his experience in the iconic film Midnight Cowboy in his new uInterview.
Voight felt the role had the most impact on his career. “Midnight Cowboy, of course, was huge. It made me; it gave me a career,” he told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “All of a sudden, I was a bankable something.”
Asked if he knew at the time of filming how controversial the movie would be, Voight said, “Oh yeah, I mean, I knew there’s nothing else like it – but I liked what it was; I fell in love with the story from the book, I thought this character and also Rizzo, were like a classic couple of personalities, that you would go through any adventure with these two characters, these knuckleheads, but these lovely knuckleheads we all understand somehow and root for.”
He continued, “So that’s what I knew about that piece.

Iconic actor Jon Voight revealed why he believes his new film Shadow Land can help viewers understand the gravity of the American presidency in his new uInterview.
Shadow Land follows former president Robert Wainwright as he is plagued by vivid nightmares that foreshadow his premature death and calls a longtime psychiatrist to his secluded upstate retreat. The specialist uncovers that the looming danger may be more serious than previously imagined.
“I thought that it was a good way for people to understand the weight of the presidency and the consequences of actions that come down to that desk,” Voight told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “It’s a good way to present a portrait of the office itself in some way.
