Subscribe Jakob s Wife Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden; directed by Travis Stevens
The 80s scream queen ingenue Barbara Crampton star as the titular wife of small-town pastor Jakob (Larry Fessenden) in Travis Stevens observational horror-dramedy about marriage, empowerment and sense of identity.
The movie introduces Anne (Crampton) as a dedicated wife always standing by her man. But deep inside, she feels trapped, longing to escape her long toxic marriage with the insufferably controlling minister. No wonder she exudes charm and charisma when she casually meets up with her old flame Tom (Robert Rusler) for lunch. Their tête-à-tête has an air of nonchalance that is, until the old love birds reminisce about their past. As the mood turns flirtatious, Anne and Tom encounter the undead, rendering both shocked beyond belief.
