10 years after a young girl goes missing on Halloween night, her grief-ridden sister returns to their hometown to make peace with her unresolved past. Along the way she becomes entangled with two idiosyncratic identical twins from her childhood who now run the town's roadside haunted house. With nowhere else to go, she is drawn deeper and deeper into their world of scares, secrets, and enchanting house of horrors. While one twin pulls her closer, the other's threats and scare tactics escalate to a breaking point where he must decide what lines he's willing to cross. At the same time, her connection with her sister is growing as she starts to unearth new information about who she was and what happened that night all those years ago. The three haunted souls soon find themselves on a melancholic journey for truth set against the backdrop of an approaching Halloween season and the anniversary of her sister's disappearance.

There is a much better film hiding inside this one, but it’s far too fascinated with the horror beats it wants to hit rather than the affecting character beats it achieves with occasional depth and beauty.

Assignment X

This is an oddly straightforward thriller, in which pretty much everything is exactly what it seems to be, except for what appear to be mistakes.

Rated: B-

Warped Perspective

Unfortunately, all the Halloween aesthetics in the world can't stand in for a plot or good performances, nor can they replace a script or a judicious edit.

Really good movie, I didn't realize the same actor was playing both roles, I actually thought they were brothers. Writer, actor of different roles and director. Fantastic job, the movie visuals are good to. Here's a movie you don't know how's its going to end. Good casting. Great job Cusick hope you do more in the future.

Riley Cusick, who has directed a number of shorts and appeared as an actor in Chelsea Stardust's Satanic Panic and Joe Begos' VFW, makes his feature directorial debut with this film while also playing the roles of twins Charlie and Vincent. A decade after her sister goes missing on Halloween, Laura returns home to make peace with the past, but comes back into the world of the twins who now run a roadside attraction. She has nowhere else to go and can't connect to her family, so she keeps falling deeper into their world of madness. Yet as she grows closer to one twin, the other goes further down his own twisted path, as these three are all haunted and all on a journey that seemingly has only one dark close. I really enjoyed this film as it's just as much a slasher as it is a very human story. I was also happy to see Friday the 13th Part VII star Lar Par Lincoln show up. Autumn Road is most definitely worth your time. I thought it would just be a vanity project for Cusick, but now I'm excited to see anything and everything he does in the future.
